What are your general comments?

The faculty interviewer doesn't know your GPA or MCAT, so the whole interview is very unbiased. They want to know if your personality would fit with school and medicine. It's very relaxing. Student interviewer doesn't know anything about you. You'll have to explain, which is good.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Everyone is nice.
