What are your general comments?

Very relaxed. The guy was very cool actually mocking the fact that he had to go through this standard question list. He actually spent quite a bit of time telling me about what kind of medicine he does, the attractions of the city of Cleveland and about Case. I learned a lot from him. THese interviewers are selling you as much as you are selling yourself.

Interview questions they asked

where do you see yourself in 15 yesrs?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Don't remember; much more of a conversation. The interviewer had been a child actor and I had acted before deciding to go to med school. So, we chatted about that.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Where do you see yourself in 15 years. I cracked a joke and asked, "emotionally?" I know you are supposed to be serious, but I couldn't resist.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read their website. Spoke to a student and stayed with a student the night before so that helped me think of some questions.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were all first rate. Campus was expansive, the relationship with Cleveland Clinic. Seems like you will get a great education.

What impressed you negatively?

1) Cost of tuition, but that is generally with these private med schools. 2) The people I was interviewing with. Most were 22-23, from top schools, but lacking social skills. We sat in a room for an hour and trying to make conversation was more painful than self inflicted lashes. If that's who my classmates are going to be, YIKES!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing
