What are your general comments?

"There are actually two interviews, one after the other. The first is with one person (doctor in my case), who has your entire file at his disposal. He is the one presenting you to the adcom. The second interview was with two people (a doctor and a 4th yr med student in my case), and they only had your ECs and personal statement. My two interviews were awesome, especially the second one, which was really just like a conversation rather than a situation where I had to work really hard to sell myself. Also, if anyone is curious, I'm an out-of-state applicant, so never fear, it IS possible to get an interview if you are in that situation." Report Response
