What are your general comments?

"The admission staff was nice, polite, courteous, and very helpful. I didn't even mind the green folder. The school definately needs to be upgraded. It felt too old. The tour guide was helpful and informative and honest which impressed me a lot. The interviewer however was totally different. He was a doctor and from the moment I sat down in the office he attacked my grades, MCAT score and my family situation. I'm married with a kid and he wondered how I'd fair with them in tow. His questions were more scathing remarks than questions. I have been on four interviews previously and I had never felt so angered and aggravated. I was literally snarling. I guess it was a challenge to see how I would react and I held myself in check very well, but it felt like more of an attack than interview. I was ready to walk out. The interview also took place during the finacial aid presentation so I missed most of it. I wasn't too happy about that either. Overall the school is only ok. " Report Response
