What are your general comments?
My interviewer was a doctor at the hospital. He was very enthusiastic about life in St. Louis and very confident in the school producing great doctors despite its lack in rankings. He was very unreactive and expressionless towards my responses to his questions so it made me nervous and it was difficult to read how I did. He also got a phone call towards the end which cut the interview a bit short.
