What are your general comments?
My interviewer spent a good 20minutes at the begining of the interview writing down where I interviewed and where I had upcoming interviews. I did not like having to answer this. I felt it was an encroachment on my provacy. Then another couple of minutes writign down the names of other "competitive schools" that I had applied to. Then basic question read form a sheet about ethical issues, my ideas on US healthcare. And fianlly I was aksed how I expect to pay for medical school.
