What are your general comments?

This interview was stressful because of the group interview setting. It felt as though they asked questions specifically to put you under pressure. One of the students in my group was asked how her learning disability would affect her ability to succeed on the boards. I thought it was completely inappropriate to mention her learning disability in a group setting. Questions were definately asked to make you feel uncomfortable and to see how you would respond when put on the spot. This was much different from my other interview experiences where interviewers tried to determine if you were a good fit, rather than tried to make you uncomfortable. Also, 2 of the interviewers on my panel seems to have issues with earch other. This also added to the discomfort of the process.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
