What are your general comments?

"The interviewers were passing me file around and reading it as I was talking. Even when I tried to lighten the mood, there was not a single smile or friendly glance. When I answered, another professor would challange or just dismiss my answer. For one of the questions I apparently did not understand the answer they were looking for. They asked the questions 3 more times with the exact phrasing, much like a person who talks louder and louder to a non-English speaking person. I tried not to visibly show my frustration and be friendly and open but I was never given the opportunity to showcase my personality and ideals, the very thing I assumed the interview was for."
