Hey guys,
Last cycle, I had one interview where I was wait listed, but I honestly felt that the interview was what caused my waitlist because for a lack of better words,the interview was rushed. I was the last interviewee (it was randomly predetermined order) for the day and the psychiatrist interviewing me had another applicant before me and the administration had to go into the room 5 times and tell them to wrap it up because every applicant only got 20-30 min. This applicant took almost an hour and would have been longer if the admin did not interrupt saying there is another applicant. The whole time, I kept a discrete track of the interview and noticed, she kept cutting me off. For instance, my intro didn't even get pass hi- my name is X and I am from Y before she rushed on to the next question. She seemed very disengaged and ironically, her student observing her was much more interested in the interview. She kept looking at her watch the whole time and it was suppose to be MMI but all I got was random questions. She didn't even let me finish asking questions- she cut me off saying that oh I am sorry time is up but you can ask this person. WTF! I felt very discouraged because everyone I talked to got an actual nice interview. I was too worried about timing because she kept looking at her watch. The interview lasted about a little over 7 minutes bc she had to play catchup. I wanted to complain but I had no idea who to even talk to bc I did not know who to talk to and also did not want to come across as whiny or bratty. How would you guys have dealt with this?
