What are your general comments?

"this interview wasn't that stressful, except there was a fair amount of time spent just waiting around. The admissions staff was really friendly, as were the two people that interviewed me. They were really really nice, although one of the interviewers had trouble making eye contact. a lot of students stuck their heads in while we were waiting to wish us good luck and answer any questions. PCOM seems like a really good place for med school-- high expectations, but sort of laid back and relaxed at the same time. its definitely one of my top choices. the interview itself is just like a conversation. you can sort of direct it anyway you want to. i felt like they did really want to get to know about me and my interets. just talk a lot, and they will sort of ask about the stuff you are saying."
