What are your general comments?
I had an excellent first interview experience. I was interviewed by a fourth year medical student and then a faculty member. Both were so welcoming and laid-back. I liked touring the Brain Institute and seeing the simulated patient. We had two tours: one of the hospital (by student) and one of the Brain Institute (by staff). All students, faculty, and fellow interviewees were wonderful.
