Hi,
the reason so many people just viewed it and didnt post is that these details cannot be answered directly, because no one knows what part 1, 2 scores a school "expects".. there is a cut off of 85 at some places like UCLA, UCSF and at others there is not like Loma Linda, USC, UOP to be called for the bench/interview.
Also a lot of the information has been posted on other threads like "acceptance thread" or "IDP compiled stats", these threads will give an insight to the future applicants of the kind of scores and GPAs people got.
Also, the questions asked in the interview are very relative, they cannot be generalized for 'west coast schools'.. because all they want to know is your interpersonal skills and your personality, your level of confidence (and not overconfidence!!) and how clear u are about what u want..
Hope this helps a bit.

Sck is right Sanju. You asked for many details, most of which have been answered in previous threads. If you go to the different UOP threads will find plenty of feeback from people who interviewed there. The same goes for some other schools. And those feedbacks are really detailed ones, so.....

thanks sck and meggs. i will definately look up the old threads.
