What are your general comments?

I've had a handful of interviews that have been pretty much all the same (basic personal questions). I didn't really expect the NU interview to be too much different. Since it was a panel, I'm guessing they didn't just want to hear 3 people talk about why they would make a qualified doctor so they asked almost all hypothetical questions. This seems to be the consensus with most of the people i've spoken to about the interview.

Interview questions they asked

One interviewee was asked ''if you could go back in time and meet any fictional character, who would it be, what would you talk about, and what would you eat.'' I thought this was very difficult because I don't read much (oops).

I was asked this too
