What are your general comments?

"Terrible! The faculty interviewer didn't seem too sharp.... oh, but what do you know, he also went to SUNY Upstate. Student interviewer asked questions and as I answered then, would ask another question off of the topic.... she wasn't even listening to what I said. Then said something to the effect of "we just evaluate what you are wearing... ha,ha just kidding" .... but in all honesty I am not sure how she could have evaluated anything else since she didn't actually listen to anything I said. If Upstate is the only school I were accepted to, I would reapply next year. In earnest, I would prefer any DO school, or any school in Canada, Australia or the UK over Upstate.... this place is a joke!" Report Response
