What are your general comments?
Interesting. My first interview was with an MD and my second interview was with a 4th year med school student. The MD did not seem to be prepare with question to ask me. The student was very well prepared and enthusiastic to get to know more about me and what i had to offer to the school. I was worried when i went based on teh negative feedback given about the school. NOw i completely disagree with the negative comments. I had a great time and like i said i loved the school
