What are your general comments?

"It was very informal and personal. The student lunch and the conversation following was great. The students were awesome so caring and so close as a family. I was a little uneasy about my first interview. He asked only my gpa and mcat scores and if I had taken physiology and how I chose what med schools to apply to. It lasted 10 minutes only, I was afraid of the fact that he made up his mind off of just that. The second one was much more conversational and comfortable. " Report Response
