What impressed you positively?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

basically didn't see any students besides the ones giving the tour. the students doing the tour looked like they didn't want to be leading a tour nor did they want to be at the school. They had very few positive things to say about the school and were very unenthusiastic. My first interviewer was this really old doctor whose only goal was to antagonize me until i said what she wanted me to say. She asked me about fixing the healthcare system and apparently the only thing she wanted to hear is that you need to go to the patient rather than having them come to you in order to do proper preventive care. She antagonized me about being from the city. She spent an hour trying to get me to say what she wanted me to say, the whole while telling me there were "no wrong answers" while telling me i was wrong in the same breath. Then she asked me to tell her about my research. After I was done she proceeded to belittle it. She had obviously not read my application at all nor did she make any effort to do so. At my second interview I basically sat there while my interviewer read through my whole application - yes, ALL of it - and made comments about it. There were very long awkward silences while he read the app and he didn't really ask me anything very specific about it. We then had a friendly conversation about random things and that was all.
