What impressed you negatively?

What are your general comments?

"As I said before, I came to Albany expecting more, but was throughly disappointed. My interviewers both grilled me (even the student), and made it clear that they would be doing me a favor by accepting me (even though I told them I had been accepted to a top 10 school!). They also tried to make me feel bad because I wasn't interested in going into primary care. It was awful, and obviously if I am accepted I am not only not going to go, but discouraging any of my friends from considering it either." Report Response
