What are your general comments?

i thoroughly enjoyed my yale interviewer. the interviewers seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me, and the whole day was relaxed, the students were friendly and full of useful info about living in new haven (as a grad student) spend time talking with the medical students--they seem genuinely happy and they are also very interesting/cool people to meet. this might give you a sense of the med student community.
