What are your general comments?

"It was OK. I actually expected to like it more than I did. Tulane seems to try hard to come off as laid back, into diversity (which I'm sure it is), but it rang a little false when the bulk of my interview was stat-based stuff (MCAT, GPA, etc.) I don't feel like they learned anything about me that wasn't already in my file."
