What are your general comments?

I was so impressed by the school, but my interviewers were the worst. The closed file interviewer said "I don't have anything to read about you, so what do you want to tell me?" and then proceeded to ask me my mcat score and gpa. (doesn't that defeat the purpose of a 'closed-file'?). The second interviewer was not a native speaker and just read her questions from a sheet. I would answer and she would look at me for a few seconds silently and then read another question. She totally grilled me on cloning and my weaknesses and a few other things. This was my second interview, so I thought this was normal and now that i'm looking back i know that interviews shouldn't be like that. Overall, this is a very good, inexpensive school that would be a solid med school experience.
