What are your general comments?

"I was greeted early in the morning by a wonderful admissions director. Six of us were interviewing on this day and we had a chance to relieve any unnecessary stress via general conversation. Two of us were from VA and the rest were out of state. The interview itself was pretty much like a general conversation sprinkled with questions about healthcare in US, and how it could be fixed, my favorite type of music and letting them know a little about myself. On the other hand, I did have an interviewer who pulled out a list of questions and proceeded to run one off right after the other. I became stuck on one or two but the next interviewer was a person who enjoyed talking and we had a nice conversation..." Report Response
