Interview questions they asked

What did you do in high school besides study?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

I was interviewed by a neuroscientist and I have done research in neurology so I was asked a lot of specific questions about my research. I think Downstate tries to match people with the interviewer so make sure you are very knowledgeable about everything you claim to be knowledgeable about!

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What were you like in high school? First question I was asked, wasn't expecting it and totally threw me off. I couldn't even remember what I was like in high school and babbled through the first awkward minutes of the interview.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, my application, mock interviewing with friends, knew the website and curriculum by heart.

What impressed you positively?

The dinginess of the facilities is totally over-hyped. They aren't out of this world but they aren't too shabby either.

What impressed you negatively?

The neighborhood is what it is, and that is Brooklyn. But it is so close to Manhattan and the subway ride to midtown is like 30 minutes tops.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was definitely over prepared. The interview could not have been more easy going and relaxed.
