What impressed you negatively?
I showed up at the office about ten minutes before my scheduled time and was told that I didn't have an interview that day. I stood around the office for about 10 minutes trying to get someone to help me. Finally, someone asked me why I was there; when I again said I had an interview, I got shuffled around for another 5 minutes or so. All the while, they maintain that I don't have an interview that day. Finally, someone apologized, said that I did in fact have an interview, and had me sit down to wait. Good thing the interviewer was late, or else I might have missed part of my interview.
What are your general comments?
The interviewer was pretty laid back and friendly. She said she hadn't gone through my application with a fine-toothed comb. Later, she revealed that she didn't know my MCAT score, my GPA, my undergraduate institution, or very much that I'd written in my AMCAS at all.
Success!
