Did I have a bad interviewer or am I over thinking it ?

I just had an interview not too long again but I'm not exactly sure of it. I had a lady with a bit of an accent but she was very nice and extremely approachable but I feel as if there's was a disconnect in our communication. Also she basically just read my primary and secondary to me but didn't ask any questions about me personally ( my story, why I chose medicine, why the school, what do I believe are problems in healthcare etc) which sucks because I love talking bout my stuff. Instead she just went through my primary secondary and letters in front of me and said good research, good volunteering, you supported yourself through college and high school, good ACT and MCAT basically. Normally I wouldn't be concerned but you see this is a very mission based school that chooses based on the holistic individual not stats. So I feel like once it goes to committed why'll feel like I have stats only and that's all I talked about and no passion for medicine. Any thoughts ?

It's fine done worry. Interviews are more for identifying/explaining red flags than boosting your application. If you're otherwise solid you'll be fine.

She's but one interviewer among several, I assume. Anyway, most interviewees are terrible judges of how their interview went, so quit fussing.
