What are your general comments?

Overall it was a great experience. The interviewers were very friendly and personable. They made me very comfortable and were never confrontational or rude. My faculty interviewer did ask some ethical questions and defended views opposite to mine, but in an 'i want to challenge you to think' way not an 'i think you're wrong way'. I had a great experience and think that attending UNSOM would be a very positive experience.

Interview questions they asked

If you were asked to give a lecture about drug abuse to a group of kids, what would you say and why?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

If you were to be dropped in a refugee camp with 10,000 people, assuming that you had complete medical training, what would be the first thing you would do?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Why do you think there is such a discrepancy between the health care system in the US and the healthcare systems in other developed countries, and what can we as a country do to fix it?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this site, talked to friends. Talked to the MS-1 who was assigned to me (which was VERY helpful).

What impressed you positively?

Both of my interviewers were very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. The MS-4 who interviewed me really seemed to like the school and was very open and honest about UNSOMs programs.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers did have identical lists of questions to ask me, which was a little off-putting. But we got fairly sidetracked in both interviews talking about my research and clinical experiences anyway.
