I had an interview today in which about half the time of a 20 minute interview was focused on asking questions regarding where I applied, who offered me interviews, who I ended up interviewing with, why I cancelled an interview, if I had an acceptance (and where), etc. I was really caught off guard. For the record, this was my 5th interview (I cancelled one other interview), and I still have one this Friday, so I know this was definitely not normal. Has anyone experienced this? Are they allowed to ask such probing questions (I mean, I'd say it's rude and bad form, but is it actually against the "rules")? I answered honestly and tried spinning it in the "I'm here despite already having an acceptance, which indicates I'm very interested in the program" realm, but I was a little frustrated that a good chunk of the little time I had was focused on this while nothing of my clinical experience, life experience, shadowing, etc was even mentioned or asked about.
