What are your general comments?

"I was more confident going into the first interview than coming out of it but my experiences with the other two interviewers were very positive. I came away more confident than ever that the MD/MPH at OHSU is something I want to do. (Word to the wise: if you aren't extremely stoked about the Epidemiology/Biostats track of the MPH, don't consider OHSU. That's the only track they offer an they aren't interested in you if you want to go into health policy/education/administration/etc.)" Report Response
