What are your general comments?

"Two one hour interviews with practicing physicians at the hospital. Both have read over your AMCAS and your secondary so know what you wrote. Be prepared to reason through a few clinical ethics dilemmas. If the two evaluations of you disagree, you will get a third late interview. There also is a tour, lunch, and brief one-on-one meeting with a financial aid representative." Report Response
