What are your general comments?

"I really did not enjoy my visit to AMC. I've gone to enough interviews to know that the day will include a lot of waiting around, but this was ridiculous. I had to wait an hour for my first interview. When it finally began, I felt like the interviewer wasn't listening and didn't care what I had to say. Even though the interview was open file, he wouldn't look at it and kept making mistakes about my schooling, ECs etc. The whole time I kept wondering at what point I should stop correcting him. For my second interview, I had to wait 45 minutes. Finally, one of the faculty members who had walked past me half a dozen times asked the admissions staff if they had forgotten about me. They came out and told me that my 2nd interviewer was still reviewing my file, and that she liked to be meticulous. When the interviewer finally came to get me, she called me by the wrong name three times. Her review of my file must not have been too "meticulous". Both interviews were heavy on the ethical issues."
