"I was so nervous before the interview, although I was one of the first batch to go. I had three interviewers: a student, a clinician, and a PhD (still not sure who the adcom was), all of whom were very friendly. They did a great job diffusing the nervous energy. I had one question regarding abortion, one question on healthcare, and the rest of the questions focused on my extra-curricular activities/community service." Report Response
