Interview questions they asked

What is a chemical buffer?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What is a chemical buffer. Though I certainly know what it is, I went completely blank because I didn't expect a question like this. His point was that this was the most difficult concept you would ever learn. Med school is not hard, just overwhelming.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

This website and school website.

What impressed you positively?

If you can get a place to live and establish utilities before the first day of school, you are considered a resident ($10,000 less). Worst case is you have to wait one semester to get in-state status. Lots of different affiliated hospitals, so would get to see a very diverse patient population.

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't look very organized. New Brunswick is a crappy little town in crappy New Jersey.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

During orientation (after interview) informed us that the class was full, so we were interviewing for spots on the wait-list.
