My quick take is that this doesn’t sound like an “awful” interview. Not taking notes might be a specific choice to have a conversation and then just write an overall note after it’s over…like a choice to be “in the moment” not writing.
Quick interviews honestly mean they are just busy, IME.
Parent interviews someone mentioned: actually several of the ones we did felt more like “hey let me give you feedback on your kid” more than anything else. Not all were like that but enough to know that this is definitely a thing, and it means nothing about admissions.
Seriously – do NOT make bets about admission based on interview analysis. Trust me, some of the weirdest interview experiences led to admission offers, for all of my kids, and for MANY people posting over the years I’ve been on CC.
