What are your general comments?
I think my interview experience was an exception to the norm - it may have been that my interviewer (a PhD and not a DO) was just quirky. I felt like I was slammed for being a business major in that they kept pressing about why I wanted to be a doctor after I had fully explained myself.

What impressed you negatively?
interviewer grilled me about a bank i worked at quite some time ago. both interviewers also seemingly didn't care about evidence based medicine - one of the students who was interviewing me stated that she thought it was "hilarious" when a physician questioned her about the scientific evidence of OMM. Towards the end of the interview, they seemed too defensive of OMM.
