⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview was low stress and fun. I had some time to chat with other interviewees, and they were great. It was a long day with lots of walking, and I was pretty wiped out at the end of the day - luckily the interviews were first thing in the morning!
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Visited the school webpage, did a mock interview, read interview feedback.

What was the most difficult question?

If you had one heart and two patients who needed a heart transplant, who would get the heart? This question was asked in various forms by the same doctor - with one patient having HIV or a serious disability or living an unproductive lifestyle.

What impressed you positively?

The students were really enthusiastic about the school. The interviewers seemed to really enjoy doing the interviews. The new campus at Fitsimmons.

What impressed you negatively?

The current campus is pretty old and run down compared to the new campus. It made me want to wait a year when the classes are at the new campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was my first interview, and I was more conservatively dressed than necessary. I wish I'd worn something that felt a little more comfortable.
