My interviewer was bad

What are your general comments?

The school is fantastic. Curriculum is great, I loved the way the students came in and out of the admissions office. My student interview was good, he asked good and relevant questions etc. My adult interview was bad. He asked a couple of ethical/theoretical questions which was fine and he prefaced it with "there are no wrong answers". Which, of course, was bs. Everytime I answered a question he would nod, jot something down and then proceed to tell me what I should have said. Or what the best answer he ever received for that question was (meaning my answer was total crap). Overall, the interview style negatively impressed me a lot.
