What are your general comments?

"The first interview was with a Biology PhD who seemed to imply that only science majors were appropriate candidates for medical school. (Didn't bode well for me as a history major). Second interviewer was a student - asked the same tough questions about background, but with an open mind. I was looking for the ethics questions that seemed so prominent in Upstate interview experiences - and got ZERO ethics questions. All the standard stuff - very routine." Report Response
