What are your general comments?

This interview was known as the MUSC "off-campus" interview. Candidates meet with a physician who is affiliated with the university a couple of weeks before the big on-campus interview day. It was so nice to have a cup of coffee with this doctor, it was a pleasure and I could tell he will endorse me when he speaks with the adcom.
