Interview questions they asked

You obviously have a strong background in research. Would you rather spend your time doing clinical or bench research?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Did they even ask questions? It was like a conversation about me and where I am now. Quite relaxed.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't. This was my practice. Not very high on the list. Although, it's moved up now, despite the location. Really, in all the students I talked to, I got one story of a stressful interview.

What impressed you positively?

I actually stayed with a host the night before, and everyone was rediculously friendly. I did some reading in the library while they studied and was impressed by how cooperative they were with one another.

What impressed you negatively?

The rural community. I really love city life and wish this place were even just 45 minutes closer to Philly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
