What are your general comments?

Very disappointed in myself. This is my first interview, but it was a lot worse than I could have and should have performed. It was great for 20 minutes until he asked if I had any questions and he said &quot;let me give u a hint, next time you should always ask about why the school is unique&quot;. I was flustered ever since that point b/c i saw it as the interviewer basically telling me i have no shot. I think i should have prepared better questions.
