They can't handle someone "being themselves." 99% of applicants come in with a fake facade -- helping people this, volunteering in a free clinic that. They get deluded into believing that this is true. I told them straight up why I wanted to go into medicine (not arrogantly, just honestly), and they couldn't handle the reality. At least I left with my dignity. I'm happy where I am now, and my goals remain the same.
