What are your general comments?

"I was in a group of 10 people. We were the afternoon session. I was surprised they didn't spread out their interviews more sparsely. We only had one interview with one person and it was, at least for me, a short one. But the school appears to have a large medical class, so they probably accept over >400 to 500 students to fill their class of 300." Report Response
