What are your general comments?
I left feeling ambivalent honestly. After some of my other interviews at other schools, I've left being able to assess my performance somewhat accurately (I've heard back from a few schools about decisions). However, at HMS, I didn't really get a vibe, or feedback, from my interviewers. They left me really confused about how I did, and naturally, I fear the worst. However, they did ask very tough questions, so be prepared to discuss anything from your AMCAS app (which they really use in-depthly) to current events! Btw, for those who have interviewers at MGH or some location off of the HMS campus, be prepared to have a closed-file interview, as some of the ppl at MGH did not have a chance to pick up applications beforehand.
