What are your general comments?

"For a second year. The interview was the same. This time around it wasnt as stressful except when one interviewer decided to put me on the spot and stated that my MCAT was not good and to give him reasons he should vote for me at the meeting. Our interview was then broken up by staff members who messed up. The day was long but nice. I'm less than pleased with the admissions office and their help while I reapplied. If you went to VT then you will probably get in with no problem." Report Response
