What are your general comments?

"We were asked to wait in a small waiting area until our interviewer picked us up. Interview was more conversational. They already know your info from your AMCAS and secondary applications. It was more of a confirmation of some items that were of interest in the application such as research, medical/clinical experiences, and current activities (since I was a non-trad). The interviewer himself provided an overview at how the first two years of medical at WSU would be like. " Report Response
