What are your general comments?

to be honest, it seemed a bit disorganized. the admissions office lady as well as two students took turns leading us on the tours. and then, we were told to wait for a hospital tour later on, if we wanted to ... and the interview was good, the doctor (pediatrician) and i talked about the pros and cons of medicine, the financial strain, the loans process and the government, and the pros and cons of pediatrics. a good conversation, overall

Interview questions they asked

tell me about yourself

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

it was just a conversation, really. so i guess ... "why medicine?"

I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

nice lecture hall. not a bad neighborhood. nice apartments.

What impressed you negatively?

i didn't fit in. i was the only non-white/non-jewish interviewee in the batch of us that day (15-20) and everyone was talking about israel and palestine relations, and about learning to speak hebrew. i didn't fit in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how religion plays a very large part in the overall environment/ambience of albert einstein.
