What are your general comments?

My interviewer asked me year to year of my undergrad what I did. I didn't review my experinces to such detail, so I struggled a bit, trying to remember all the activities I did each year. She would write everything down, and would stop me mid-sentence to get everything down on paper. Since it was closed-file, I can udnerstand why she needs to write stuff down, but I essentially regurgitated my AMCAS. I was put off by her interrupting me and being so focused on jotting down her notes that I grew uninterested. Also, she was late and I was the LAST person to interview. So, she rushed me because she wanted me to see the tour, even though I told her that my host showed me the campus already and it's ok if we go over. Oy, I'd say the whole interviewing ecperience was ok, but the actual interviewer made it worse.
