"Everyone that we spoke to (interviewers, tour guides, students in class, deans, etc.) was really nice and took time out to wish us luck and tried to encourage us to relax and be ourselves.

The Med (one of the clinical hospitals) is the 3rd busiest hospital in the country. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I feel that the interview went pretty well. I only had 1 interview becuase I interviewed last year and thus they just wanted to me catch them up on what I have been doing in the past year. The first couple of minutes of any interview are always going to be a bit dicey, but I really felt that once that was over things went smoothly. I may have been a bit nervous about giving them a right or wrong answer, but my interviewer was really calming and explained early on that there oftentimes is not right or wrong answer. He even brought up a situation of his, where he had to explain to a patients family that he did not hold out much hope. We ended up talking for about a hour and a half, but it certainly didn't feel that way. " Report Response
