Interview questions they asked

What do you do in your current job?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

1. (Group Question) Work with your team to design a reality TV show about medical school. 2. (Group Interview) If there is one question that you want us to ask, what is the question and what is the answer? 3. What makes you sad?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

See ''most interesting.''

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read through last season's posts on SDN, read my secondary interviews, and brushed up on the curriculum and bioethics. Based on my experience, the posts on last season's SDN feedback were very similar to the questions that were asked of me (many of the were questions identical).

What impressed you positively?

The general happiness of the students and the friendliness of the admissions staff impressed me.

What impressed you negatively?

The anatomy lab was more morbid than I expected:) (lots of cadavers, none covered), but the facilities were generally exceptional.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The focus of the group interview to allow them to gauge your personality and not necessarily to reiterate the strength of your application. Some other tidbits: they expect to have ~8000 applicants this year, interview 8% of that (~700), and accept 40% of those interviewed. They really stressed the importance of being an active learner for their PBL/collaborative-style curriculum.
