What are your general comments?

My first interview was by an admissions member. It was very pleasant and basically just went through a list of questions (that are basically posted throughout this website) My second interviewers was an MD and that was more like a conversation and I listened to them speak for awhile. Found out about 3 weeks later. NO MCATS!
