What are your general comments?

Overall the school seems like a good environment to learn in. People for the most part were great. Unfortunately, I had a really bad interviewer. He had a huge ego, and recognized that I did not. He scrutinized my record (which is actually pretty strong) and accused me of not being genuinely interested in medicine. Questioned (and almost ridiculed) my sincere desire to help people, explaining that medical school will strip all of that idealism away from me. Ironically, I sensed that he was actually the one with a lack of interest in medicine.
