What are your general comments?

"It seemed to go alright...I wasn't nervous since I had already accepted a seat at another school and wasn't expecting to get any more interviews. When I arrived I spoke with the admissions director for a few minutes, then we watched a brief video and then my first interviewer came to get me. 20-30 minute interview, then went back to the admissions office, then to second interview, then brief tour of the hospital. The whole time spent there was only about 2 hours, and much less thorough than any of my other interviews. It was mostly time for me to ask questions...they didn't have any presentations or too much prepared." Report Response
