What are your general comments?

I'm not supposed to disclose the specific questions (due to the confidentiality agreement), but the interview was really conversational and not stressful. I've heard otherwise from people who interviewed in previous years, so I was a bit apprehensive at first, but the questions were quite straightforward and there wasn't really anything tricky. The faculty member who interviewed me was actually the author of a medical ethics book (I only found out just before my interview), so I did get a few ethics questions, but they were straightforward. Just remember to put the needs of the patient first and you'll do fine!

Interview questions they asked

question about ethics (what would you do in a hypothetical situation) - but very straightforward

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

nothing particularly difficult

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't prepare much...just read my file and did some thinking about how I would answer some standard interview questions

What impressed you positively?

UofT is the only medical school in Canada where students do their own dissections in anatomy lab (the dissections are only optional at other schools). This is definitely a positive for me, because I learn better by going through the process myself.

What impressed you negatively?

First year classes run 9-5 on some days. Also, it gets cold in Toronto in the winter.
