"From the beginning of the day they were saying to not be stressed out and to not worry about the interviews. And you really didn't have any reason to worry. My student interviewer was great. He really just tried to get to know me and see how I would handle certain situations. My faculty interview seemed to go pretty well too, though I'm not sure she really accepted my answer to my explanation of my MCAT score and one or two other things. Both interviews were very laid back, it was much more like a long conversation than anything else. I really had no idea this school would impress me so much. I would love to go here!"
