What are your general comments?

"my interviewer sat at his desk with his back/side to me. i was put in a chair in the ''corner''. the questions were highly redundant it was obvious that my file had never been read (although most other interviewers at the U of MN pre-read the students' files). at one point, my interviewer made (not took) a personal call - which took 10 minutes of our time. by the end of the interview, i didn't know if the U of MN was the place for me and i couldn't think of any convincing reasons why i wanted to go there" Report Response
