What are your general comments?

"3 interviewers: second year medical student, a physician (DO), and a faculty member (Biochem professor). The interview was very laid back. They outright said that they were just trying to get to know everyone who was interviewing and not try to ''pressure cook them''. The interview was very conversational . . . each interviewer took turns asking a question and it went on like this until we ran out of time. I felt very comfortable and probably could have talked with them for another hour!" Report Response
