What are your general comments?
This was a great interview. The interviewers were respectful and relaxed, though interested and listened well. I made a comment about chest x-rays being difficult to read, and both the student and the doctor interviewing me expressed agreement and understanding, which made me feel included even though I am not actually a student yet. The admissions staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the other applicants were personable and friendly as well, which helped everyone, I think.
