What are your general comments?

So the day in general was nice, the school itself is great and i would be happy to attend there, but i was so disgusted at how rude my interviewer was. She even asked a question where i truly wasnt sure of an answer so i said that i didnt know and asked her to elaborate a little more so that i could understand her better and nothing...she insisted on repeating herself without helping a little to try to make me look like a jackass. Apparently she missed the part in my file that said i was from NJ too and that i dont flounder easily.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer was quite possibly the rudest individual i have ever met. She hardly looked at me, asked ridiculous questions that have nothing to do with me and refused to answer one of my questions...which by the way, I asked what she thought the school's strengths and weaknesses were. She shrugged he shoulders, said ''well i dont know'' in a mocking tone then proceeded to ask me to answer my own question.
