What are your general comments?

"A few questions were about things on my AMCAS app and secondary, which were standard. Otherwise the whole interview was very conversational and laid back. We covered quite a diversity of topics in our conversations, none of which I ever expected to talk about in a med school interview. This was a refreshing change from other interviews. My interviewer was very nice and knew my application thoroughly. Overall a positive experience and my top choice for medical school." Report Response
