"There were three one on one interviews and lasted about 30 minutes each. They each had access to all of your materials. Everyone asked different questions. For example, the first guy asked me a lot about my past experiences, the next guy asked me the standard strength and weaknesses questions, and the third asked me about grades/mcat.
