How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The experience was really chill and a lot of fun. Probably because the guys I was interviewing with were really cool. There were about 16th of us. They start you off with a few talks that are ok I guess. Then you have lunch with a few M1's and then get a tour of the campus. In general, the people there are really chill and really nice. Classes are a little big 200 for the first couple of years, but I don't think that's a huge problem because of small group PBL's and the approachability of the profs there.

Interview questions they asked

Why Medicine? What inspired you to choose medicine?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing really. He basically went down my file and asked me about each of the experiences that I had listed on my amcas application.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What is an ethical issue in the news that you think you will confront in your career as a physician?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over my research, read their handbook, looked over my application, wrote out why I like the school and potential questions that I could ask my interviewer.

What impressed you positively?

Columbus. It's a fun place. The people are really nice, the campus is really pretty, there's a lot of construction going on. The area is lively, and the big 10 school spirit.

What impressed you negatively?

My heart skipped a beat when they told me tuition runs 60k the first year for out of staters. In addition, I'd have to become an Ohio resident to get a reasonable financial aid package. In addition...the catacombs. There are tunnels that connect all the parts of the med center...that kind of worries me because I imagine that they have some pretty rough winters over there. I can see myself becoming depressed in that setting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

$60k out of state.
