What are your general comments?

"I was surprised at how fond I became of the school. The sentiment that you either love it or hate it has been repeated several times here -- perhaps that's a consequence of the school appearing to have such a defined character (cura personalis, intense clinical training, Jesuit history, etc.). I appreciated that they went over the curriculum in detail, esp. the third year (which is hardcore). The interview itself, with an M4, was very pleasant and conversational; other than those I've posted here, I can't recall any blatant Interview Questions. We discussed the state of the current health care system as well as outside interests. At the end of the day, I was happy I visited." Report Response
