What are your general comments?

"i was definitely one of those ppl who walked out of the interview thinking, "wow, what a waste of time that completely sucked. i think my ears are still burning." as it turns out, i must have completely misread the experience, because i was accepted 9 days later. i interviewed with 2 surgeons. the first completely scorched me. i was still reeling from the shock of it when i went in for my 2nd interview. the second surgeon, however, seem to really like me. at the end of the interview he actually asked me, "do you really want to come here?" when i nodded, he said, "good. great. i'll see what i can do." the thing is, as bad as i felt my first interview went, i am still fairly certain that i was accepted 'because' of the interview and not 'despite' it. the reason i think this is because i turned my 2nd app in july or early august, and didn't interview until march. even with the late interview (i was told the class had filled by 3/15, 2 days before my interview), i got accepted before some of my friends did who interviewed back in october. so, i guess what i'm trying to say is that interviews DO count, and hard interviews possibly better illuminate your character as an applicant than an easy, generic interview."
