What are your general comments?

The interviews are very relaxed. Both interviewers have a partial file. They have your essays and activities but don't have any of your grades of scores on the MCAT. The school is in Maywood outside of Chicago and most of the students live in the surrounding burbs. No real difficult questions during the interviews and the staff really makes you feel welcome and puts you at ease.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
