What are your general comments?

"I got there in the early morning and had a small brunch with some med students who also gave the tour. I couldn't get over how much the plae looked like a high school with the long halls and lockers everywhere. I was in a group of 6 people and was number 4 in line to be interviewed. The problem was that the same two people were interviewing everyone one after the other, so I waited over 2.5 hours to finally get into my room. The two-on-one approach made me pretty nervous and the woman seemed to laugh at everything I said for some reason. I was especially insulted by the question about why my MCATs were somewhat lower than other candidates. How do you answer something like that? It was over quickly and I took my mug with blue fortune cookies and got out pretty quickly. Honestly, for me the only real draw of WVU over other schools was that friends of mine were going/going to go there. I'm still on their waitlist (which I am told can last up until the day classes start), but I have already accepted an offer at a much better school for me." Report Response
