What are your general comments?

The interviews were pretty relaxed and low-stress. My student interview (completely closed file) was short because my interviewer had to get to her ambulatory care rotation, but I felt as comfortable as if I were talking to a friend. My faculty interview (closed-file except AMCAS personal essay) was almost an hour long, and we talked about common interests like singing. Then there's a 15-minute open-file meeting with the dean. This was my first interview, so I was a little nervous, but all in all it was a good experience and not very stressful. Overall, Pitt looks like an excellent school in a fun, affordable area to live, and I would be happy to go here.
