that I should have a lot more volunteer experience...

What are your general comments?

The interview started out with ''tell us about yourself...'' Then it proceeded to questioning and drilling my answers. Topics ranged from ''What do you do when you relax?'', ''Why do you want to be a doctor?'', ''Why not be a nurse?'', ''What experience do you have in the medical field?'', ''If so and so could not afford insurance, how would you address the situation?'', ''If a patient had a complaint, you sent them home, they come back and die, what do you do?'', ''If your clinic is busy, how are you going to ensure quality care for the patient who is in need of tests?''. The interview ended on a fairly positive note when one interviewer said that my ''idealism is very refreshing.'' Nothing much though. The questions were back to back and quick. I think they were trying to break me down but I stayed calm and they seemed to be relatively impressed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Pretty good on my part. I only gave the score based on my own experience dealing with the admissions
