Interview questions they asked

What's on my iPod/TV/desk?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Group PBL: You have been given $10,000,000. What will you do with it?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Me: You can ask any politician a single question or offer them a single piece of advice. What would you say? Peer: How have you grown culturally in the past four years?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread AMCAS and secondary, prepared a quick verbal update on my app, and reviewed previous panel questions through SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The general hospital feels like a five-star hotel. The location near Michigan Avenue is hard to top by any other medical school.

What impressed you negatively?

The panel interview designed to ''get to know you as a person'' and ''simulate a PBL session'' was a ridiculous waste of my time and money. I didn't fly to Chicago to talk about what's on my iPod.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That ~25% of the class comes straight from NW undergrad. On the positive side though, that half of us interviewees will get an acceptance.
