What are your general comments?

"When they say "open file" they mean open file. My interviewer had practically memorized my whole application quoting back at me my GPAs from each seperate year of college (I didn't even know them) as well as my personal statement, all of my extracurriculars, my MCATs and why I transferred schools. Many of the questions concerned me expanding on aspects of my application. On the other hand, most of the other interviewees who didn't have my interviewer said their interviewer asked them almost nothing and it was extremely laid back. Go figure." Report Response
