What are your general comments?
i think all my interviewer really wanted to see was my passion and dedication to become an osteopathic physician. he didnt seem to care about what i said until i started spewing out all the reasons why i want to be a doctor and how long and hard ive worked to get where i am etc. at the end of my shpeel he said "excellent". show them you want it and (hopefully) it will pay off. keeping my fingers crossed!!!
