What are your general comments?
As others have stated, the interview was split into two separate locations with plenty of time to travel. The first interview was pretty easy going but the second was more intense. The interviewer really wanted me to sell myself to him so that he could defend me to the committee. He seemed very interested in my grades and MCAT scores. There was not as much emphsis on lifetime experience or past degrees.
