What was the most interesting question?

12) Would you ever retake the MCAT again? - He asked this since I said I was not overly happy with my performance on it and had taken it more than once. My score is very competitive for their school, but I went on to explain that I have very high standards for myself so thats why I mentioned it. Probably should've not mentioned the MCAT at all haha
