What are your general comments?

"One interview is closed file and they ask the standard/ethical questions The other interview is open file and they go through each bad grade, your MCAT, certain ECs, foreign language, etc. The group project involved 4 students tacking a problem in healthcare and identifying 3 key elements and solutions to the problem. The woman who watched us just sat in the corner taking notes--she is a specialist in family/marriage counseling so she can see through any discomfort or ingenuity. Be nice, don't be nervous!
