Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

1 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

First an introduction to the day's events. Then a speech about the school and its curriculum, which was very honest and motivational. Then a speech about financial aid. Then a tour of the school and a great lunch with med students. Then the interview itself at about 3pm.

Interview questions they asked

there were no other questions besides the ones I mentioned above - the interview was a very relaxed conversation rather than a question-and-answer session.

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

What were the factors that led you into a career in medicine?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Why did you choose to pursue medicine instead of continuing on with psychology, (my undergrad major)?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

reading books about interviewing, practicing with family, researching school and health care websites

What impressed you positively?

very organized - the admissions people are so helpful and they truly care about how you feel. Mrs. Sullivan's speech made me want to start med school tomorrow, and Georgine's referral to us as her "children" made us all feel very welcome at the school.

What impressed you negatively?

the day was very long - an hour or two could have been cut out and the program would have still been just as effective.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that there was no reason for me to be nervous - this was a very refreshing interview!
