What are your general comments?

"My interviews left me very unsure of how well they liked me. The first interview went pretty well, but didn't ask me any kinds of questions other than if I wanted to be a primary care physician and he wanted to know about anthropology (my 2nd degree). I wasn't sure how much he could really learn about me from those 2 subjects. My second interviewer basically went through my AMCAS application asking me about each activity. He asked me if I applied to Dartmouth and then preceded to tell me how wonderful Dartmouth is. I was a little confused because he seemed to be more interested in my applying to Dartmouth than my interview at Penn State." Report Response
