What are your general comments?

"Perhaps the best part of the interview process is that it seems particularly concerned with the individual as a whole, and not just their academic prowess. Rightfully so, GPA and MCAT can be screened ahead of time, so quizzing on minutia during an interview seems rather pointless. Getting a few for a candidates personality and drive is a much more important piece of the puzzle in my opinion, and this interview focused on that." Report Response
