What are your general comments?

"While I was expecting one very casual conversational interview and one cut-throat firing range interview, I got 2 very relaxed interviews. I didn't even get asked the "Why do you want to be a doctor" bit, but managed to work it into conversation anyway. The school is amazing and very impressive, and this experience moved OHSU into my number one school slot. It has a very innovative and modern curriculum that interested me greatly." Report Response
