What are your general comments?

The day was going very well until my actual interview. I took 3 years off after undergraduate because I wanted to mature more as a person, but my interviewer could not understand that. He basically chastized me for not going straight through. He had a very dry personality and it was clear from the beginning he was not interested in me as a candidate.
