What are your general comments?

"The experience was good. Unlike many premeds, i can admit I was very nervous because it was my first interview (hence the stress level of 6). The questions were usually straight forward - the typical "why wayne" and "why medicine", and amcas/activities questions. However, the interviewer told me I was lacking in clinical experience even though I had 3 semesters of volunteering..I did not completely agree but I didn't argue. The interview was fairly conversational, although the interviewer fired out question after question for most of it, as expected. I ended up being accepted, so don't worry if they grill you like that." Report Response
