What impressed you negatively?

"My interviewers were an hour late! I had to wait for them to arrive, and it was clear that one of them had not read my file (even though he was supposed to have). The student interviewer didn't like me from the get go and was pretty much an unpleasant bitch to me during the whole interview. The physician was nice enough, but definitely flaky and asked dumb questions. I had to go on the defensive about not going to EVMS for my masters, and they questioned every reason for picking my current school. What a nightmare. I wasn't surprised when they waitlisted me."
