What are your general comments?

"Interviewers were very pleasant and seemed to be on my side so that they could present my case to the rest of the Admissions Board. In general, they concentrated on my weaknesses and the questions that they believed the Board would raise. Other then that, they just wanted to get to know me and the reasons I wanted to be a doctor. It is very important that you bring up your weaknesses if they do not come up during the interview, b/c someone on the Board will bring it up and come to their own conclusions." Report Response
