How did the interview impress you?

No change 😐

What was the stress level of the interview?

4 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The facilities were nice and the students seemed really happy that they were able to have a life during medical school. The first interviewer seemed more interested in asking a list of questions and then getting me out of there, but the second interviewer was really nice and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me as a candidate. OHSU was already one of my top choices, and the interview didn't really do anything to make it look better or worse in my eyes. I still wouldn't mind going there, but there was nothing that really blew me away.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback, looked at OHSU website, read about Oregon's Death With Dignity Act.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities seemed nice, and the students all seemed really happy to be there.

What impressed you negatively?

I got the impression that the faculty are there more because they like living in Portland rather than because they like working at OHSU.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They didn't ask any kind of ethical questions, so I didn't have to take so much time to learn about Oregon's laws.
