What are your general comments?

School has great facilities and superb learning environment. The philosophy is extremely contagious, and it seems that all the students have bought into it. This was my first interview though, so I have nothing to compare it to.

Interview questions they asked

What is your view on nationalizing healthcare?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

How do you feel about illegal immigration? What if an illegal immigrant came to you to be treated medically but resources are scarce, what would you do for them or tell them given the Hippocratic oath that physicians have historically sworn by?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

After my response to "What would you do if you didn't get into medical school after multiple tries?" the question was "Why not go to dental school, there you've got patient interaction, specialties, and can get in with lower scores?"

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website, practice answers to questions from this interview feedback, look over my TMDSAS application

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students, the incredibly welcoming and cooperative environment with students and faculty. The facilities in the TMC, namely technology and how they are catered for learning.

What impressed you negatively?

School is right in the thick of things. It gets really humid there. There's not a lot of diversity in the student body.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That interviewers can ask controversial questions, and that what kinda suit, shirt, or tie, you wear seems not to matter at all. That they won't really ask you about anything in your app, but really want to see how you handle stress or pointed questions.
