💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Had a WHOLE lot of questions about why I transferred from UT during undergrad. I expected at least one question about it, but not as many as I received.
What was the most interesting question?
What do you and your fiance think of the city of Memphis?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN and my application
What was the most difficult question?
A long, ridiculously drawn-out ethical question involving a kid that walks into the ER while I'm a physician: "what if he's drunk? what if he got drunk in a suicide attempt? what are the steps you take then? how do you comfort him? what if his suicide attempt was because he was gay? what do you tell him while waiting on crisis to arrive? what if a nurse calls him a derogatory name due to his homosexuality? what if that same nurse were to have another patient in the future that is gay? how do i handle that whole situation?"
What impressed you positively?
Nelson Strother and Diane Harris
What impressed you negatively?
The interviewer...felt like an interrogation. And actually, I don't really have a problem with that, but all other med school interviews I've had have not felt that way.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I needed to be able to defend my history from a lot of different angles while not insulting UT med.
