What are your general comments?

My interview was almost satiricaly horrible, the kind you have nightmares about. I'm an AIDS activist in my spare time and the interviewer clearly disagreed with both the motiviations (poor people should be get drugs they need even if they can't afford them) and the tactics (civil disobedience and street protest) of my work. I spent the entire interview defending both and trying fruitlessly to explain the diffrence between civil disobedience and violence. We got into an argument about drug patents that would have been bad enough if we simply disagreed about companies rights, but it was made much worse by our disagreements about what the existing law WAS. The vice dean of admissions was great and really comforting when I told her (in response to a question) that my interviewer and I had had some dissagreements. Tour was good, I would have liked to see the ER, but student tour guide was great.
