Of the two that I've been to so far, one had approx. 60 people, the other had about 100 people.

baylor21,
that does not seem average for most schools. I think probably average for med students is about 5 to 20..depending how many students the school interviews each year (look in the MSAR). You were probably with a group of grad student interviews too?? Maybe not...
And also you are MD/PHD correct? So wouldn't your interviews be even smaller?

GWU says that they have around 15. I think average is about 10.

Only 3 of my interviews are MD/PhD so far, and I havent been to any of them yet Scooby.

The ones I'm referring to are the Texas schools. Since they stop interviewing in December, generally they have quite a few applicants on each interview day.

UTSA had about 100 (maybe slightly less) and UTMB had about 60 when I was there.

I'm sure the AMCAS schools have fewer, since their interview schedules are drawn out over a longer time span.
