What are your general comments?

I was asked to explain thoroughly some issues in my application. Though it was tough in a way, I really felt like my interviewer wanted to know all about everything so that I could be best represented in front of the committee. I felt like the interviews were a chance to show who I was and the interviewers took what I said to heart.

Interview questions they asked

What is 10^6?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

I didn't get any ''deep'' questions. Both interviewers wanted to know all about the information I had put in my AMCAS application and in my secondary.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Something about ATP and the Kreb's Cycle. The question wasn't so difficult, but the context was strange. The interviewer just wanted to see how I would react. It was almost like it was intended to by an ice-breaker.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews, read over my applications and essays, visited SDN and looked at previous interviewees.

What impressed you positively?

I like the time we had with the second year medical students during lunch. I got candid answers to my questions. Also, it really does seem like everyone loves being there, though they admit that medical school is grueling. I felt like everyone was honest, and no one tried to put on a show for us.

What impressed you negatively?

The day was on the long side. We did not get out until close to 6:00 pm, but looking back it didn't feel that long. Make sure you take the ''wear comfortable shoe'' warnings seriously.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I researched what the ''typical day at UFCOM'' would be like by looking at this site. So, nothing really threw me off guard.
