What are your general comments?

"The nicest people go to this school: willing to answer any question and provide advice. A large portion of students are married, have kids, commute, non-traditional aps. They really do consider the entire package for admittance (references, statement, experiences). They look at your best (not last) MCAT score. For a good interview, you need to take control and provide the information, because they won't ask for it." Report Response
