What are your general comments?

It felt more like a conversation than an interview-- laid back, smoothly flowing. I'm not sure how you're supposed to know whether or not you had a good interview-- the questions were all straightforward and just flowed smoothly.

I wasn't asked any particularly difficult question.

What impressed you positively?

The students were very enthusted about the school; the faculty was very sympathetic and warm; the new med school building looks awesome.
