What are your general comments?

It really seemed that the students and the faculty DID NOT WANT ME THERE. It really pissed me off that they even gave me an interview in the first place if they were just going to give me such hell about it. My DAT scores and my GPA are both high so I dont know why everyone was trying to make me feel so inadequate. All 4 interveiwers kept telling me that I wouldnt be able to handle teh work load because I dont have as many bio classes as everyone else. They described their school as "living hell" "a blood bath" and they said that i'd probably "flounder through the curriculum".... The students told me to turn back and run before it's too late....what the heck?!
