What are your general comments?

I interviewed with a really nice elderly woman who made me feel quite at ease with the interview. She basically went through my entire application, saying what nice things I had done, etc. I was expecting that I should provide some color commentary as she went through literally everything on my AMCAS application, but I never got the opportunity. I just sat there, nodded my head, and smiled. It looks like she wanted to use the interview to verify a few facts.
