What are your general comments?

"Overall the interview was…okay. The student was a bit too stand-offish; I felt like I had to prove myself to her. The faculty interviewer, however, was fair. I was really thrown for a loop when I was asked to explain a grade for an intro class I took three years ago; everyone at Duke tells you that, “you’ve made it this far (to an interview) now you don’t have to worry about your grades or MCAT scores.” That wasn’t the case for me! I did appreciate how both interviewers had spent time reviewing my application and asked me direct questions about my activities." Report Response
