What impressed you negatively?

I had 2 interviews - a "good cop, bad cop". I was asked where else I was interviewing, which I found distasteful. My "bad cop" interviewer made some inappropriate comments relating to something in my personal statement. I also did not like that they had someone from the admissions office come with the group on our tour. The med student who was giving the tour could not be honest with someone from admissions standing right there the whole time. I disliked that students do not have a true anatomy lab experience. Med students do not get to do dissections, instructors dissect everything for you.
