What are your general comments?

"My interviews were interesting. One was with a PhD who didn't really know the school all that well and was very research-focused, and some of the questions threw me off a little (i think of maryland as a school that is non-tradional-applicant friendly, that values patient care experience, and that is less concerned about what grades you got, and my interviewer seemed to contradict this impression). After reading the previous comments about waiting around for hours in the morning, i called beforehand and was chastized by the person that answered the phone and told to 'come at the time the email told me' - and i still waited around for an hour and a half for the first interview to start. My other interviewer clearly had not read my file ahead of time and spent the first 10 minutes of the interview facing away from me, asking me questions, and cutting off my answers with new questions. The second half of the interview was much better. In the middle of the day, there was a tour, lunch with students, talk with the dean, and a financial aid presentation. " Report Response
