My sister in law has been going through this for 2 years. She has a 3.9 GPA, scored very well on her MCAT, but she keeps getting nailed by the interviews. She just doesn't articulate her thoughts well, gets nervous and then rambles. We tried helping her by doing test interviews using questions they typically ask, that helped a bit, but not enough to get her accepted. People with similar GPA & MCATS have gotten in based on their interview... it can carry a lot of weight at some schools. They really want to see maturity & drive.
