What are your general comments?

"There is a 75 minute panel interview and a 15-20 minute one-on-one. The panel one tends to have some random questions that have nothing to do with you or your application, and there's nothing you can really do to prepare for it. But I think the point is just to see how you work in groups. The shorter one-on-one is more of the traditional "why medicine? why here?" type interview." Report Response
