What are your general comments?

good cop bad cop, over 15 min spend defending my decision to work after college, They seem to think I was more likely to fail bc I was out of school for a while and I am 30 yrs old.. They did not give me any evidence older students do fail out at a higher rate, also grilled me into saying neg comments about other students who were interviewing that day, almost suspected I was not going to be accepted even before denial letter came in mail

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

stop using NYPD detective tactics during med school interviews
