What are your general comments?
My interviewer was awesome to talk to...he was extremely laid-back and down to earth. He was obviously asking me questions but I honestly did not feel like I was being interviewed. It's important to know your AMCAS app very well because you will probably have to list them all of and explain them since the interview is closed-file. Also, you might be asked for chronology of your activites/experiences.
