What are your general comments?

"I thought it was wonderful. I even told the director of the program that I was expecting my interviewers to be more hostile, but instead they were kind and attentive. However, it is exhausting to have six interviews in one day, and even though they were not very stressful my head was pounding by 5pm. The dinner, which the MSTP office arranges for you to have with three other MSTP students at a local Restaurant is the best part, the food is AMAZING and a glass of wine is the best cure for the post interview headache (and this is from a future (hopefully) doctor)."
