What are your general comments?

"I interview with this one person, a biochemist at a nearby community college, and he was great. He and I were involved in a conservation, and I never felt the interview was one sided at all. My next interviewer was a resident, Dr. Buckner, and i was not sure about that interview. He said he had a cold and kept the interview short, and also since he was young, I did not keep a professional act. But it turned out well since i got in the school." Report Response
