What are your general comments?

"He implied that I wasn't medical school material because I would neglect my kids, I was too serious, and not compassionate, even though I brought up good points, and reasons to the contrary. Watch out for this one. Oh, also, if you get him, have a bunch of stuff ready to ask/tell him... The interview started with... "So, do you have any questions?" Then he asked me 2 or 3 questions, then, "Would you like to add anything?" I sat there for a good 3 mins trying to think of anything to show how good of an applicant I am, but I hadn't prepared to pitch my entire app. Oh also, don't talk about anything on your AMCAS app, he doesn't like that, you hafta talk about other things. Anyways, expecting a rejection in 6 weeks.. I'll update if that isn't the case." Report Response
