What are your general comments?

It was a relaxed conversational experience. One of my interviewers actually had to send me away because he had a meeting to go to, but they grabbed someone else and it was fine. My second interviewer was great, she had really read my file and had interesting thoughtful questions.

Interview questions they asked

What have you been doing since you graduated?

I was asked this too

You are so interested in social justice, why medicine and not law?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read the website (which isn't that useful), reread my secondary and essay

What impressed you positively?

The cost. It is great to graduate and have little debt and being able to have it forgiven if you practice in an underserved area in Mass.

What impressed you negatively?

White, very white. Not much diversity at all. Western Mass is not as urban as Boston, the logistics of the interviews were not that well organized

Parking is $4
