What are your general comments?

I interviewed with a member of the Evaluation committee a board member of one of the Community Health Centers in Arizona. They ask 5 standard questions that were given to everyone. There was also a file review with the Associate Director. This was to verify that everything was correct and to explain the reasons for low grades or MCAT scores.
