What are your general comments?

This was probably my worst interview (and I had 10). Not only was the admission office almost impossible to find, as my hotel shuttle dropped me off at the hospital entrance, but both of the interviewers were either apathetic or confrontational. The first interviewer seemed nice enough at first, probably a retired faculty member (MD), but he asked me repeatedly on ethical questions which I already responded in different ways. And sometimes I could not understand his questions clearly because of his manner of speaking, and when I asked that they be repeated he seemed to become impatient. The second interviewer (PhD) was worse, if that is possible--he said he does not look at the files until after the interview, and basically spent the half hour flipping through my application file and asking questions about it. There was no feeling of interest at all; I could almost see him looking at the clock--this was just a job he had to do. It is true, I could not show an overt interest in my wanting to come to Albany--the city or school.
