Interview questions they asked

Why UConn?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

I actually didn't get asked anything very unusual. Mostly standard questions like ''why medicine'' and ''why uconn'' but also some more detailed questions about my background and application.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Tell me about how your interest in medicine evolved (a more detailed version of ''why medicine'' in which i tried to be coherent and represent my interests) ''Do you think you spent too much time doing extracurriculars...because I think you did.''

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

re-read AMCAS, background about the school on their website, practiced informally with a friend about typical questions.

What impressed you positively?

How excited the students were about their school. The people I spoke with all emphasized that it's still early in the cycle and we were selected as early interviewers (despite the SDN general impression) because of our character and backgrounds and our grades and MCAT were less important at this stage.

What impressed you negatively?

I somewhat felt like the people were trying to ''sell'' it a little too hard (especially since I'd LOVE to go there).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was just a little nervous and hopefully didn't leave things out that are important to my interest in medicine and a career as a physician when I was answering questions.
