"I showed up early, they parked the car for me (small fee), put us in a room with magazines and 2 computers, waited for awhile. My interviewer was very nice, absolutely no stress. Asked me about my file, what type of doctor I thought I wanted to be... Afterwards there was a student led tour group and free lunch. Hard to say if the interview is matched or not. For some it was...I took a single epidemiology course and got matched with a public health professor." Report Response
