What are your general comments?

"Very relaxed. You meet with one interviewer and there is no time limit. That's nice, because things feel more like a conversation than an interrogation. They have a list of questions they have to ask, and these are standard-issue. No "if you were a tree;" everything was relevant to medicine and my decision to go into it." Report Response
