5 out of 10

What are your general comments?
It wasn't a totally laid-back interview, because though she was nice, she really went deep into why medicine and why Einstein. I'm better at the why medicine question b/c this was my 5th interview and I had thought of what to say ahead of time. She did comment that my choice of working with elderly with mental retardation was rather unique. Most other applicants "read books to cancer kids", the common stuff.
