What are your general comments?
First interview is with a student. I happen to really hit it off with the student and he really just wanted to get to know me. He had a question or two he had to ask but he really wasn't concerned with formalities. Most everyone else I talked to was the same. A couple of students said their student interviewers were a little intense.
Second interview was with a the head of the family practice department. He is a legend in family medicine in michigan and this interview was more strssfull then the first. After about ten minutes he loosened up and we hit it off. He even game me a book he had written which I am told is a good sign after an interview with him. He was very familiar with my file and asked some pointed questions. Nothing difficult though.
