What are your general comments?

"This was my first interview of the year so I was nervous when I first got there. There was nothing to be nervous about, both of my interviews were VERY conversational. Neither one of them (student and faculty) were "out to get me" they truly just wanted to talk. I felt like the pressure was off a little because they do not have access to GPA or MCAT, but do read your essays ahead of time. My faculty interviewer just asked me questions about my past experiences and at the end gave me his card and told me to email him with any questions. Each had 3 specific questions to ask, then we just talked after that. I wish I would have been a little more relaxed and let my personality show more. I was uptight." Report Response
