What are your general comments?

"Upon ariving at the office I asked for my interview file, which contained flyers about school programs and a list of my interviewers. I used the list to help me look up my interviewers on the internet to get insight into their fields of work. One of my interviewrs listed on the sheet could not make it and was replaced by a spacey-researcher who was not very engaged in the interview. The excom member (ie the person who will end up advocating for or against your application when they make decisions) was nice but dry and unengaged. However, to balance those two out a very warm and interested pediatrician helped make me feel very good about the interview. After all, I was able to convince them to offer me acceptance despite not having an "amazing" interview experience." Report Response
