💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Do you have any idea what type of medicine you want to practice or are you wide open? For most of the interview I felt that he was trying to sell the school but we had a very nice conversation.
Tell me about a challenge you have faced in your life and how you overcame it.
Your research seems interesting, tell me a little about it.

What was the most interesting question?

He asked about my marathon training and my writting. It was nice to see that he noticed things in my file that were outside of academics and medicine.

What was the most difficult question?

No difficult questions. No ethics or even why medicine or SLU, just a conversation to get to know you better.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over AMCAS, secondary, school website, SDN, read an ethics book, did research on hot topics, and read the NY Times. All you really need to go over are your application materials.

What impressed you positively?

Very supportive environment. The fact that they don't try and push you into primary care. Decent facilities. Most of the exam questions are in USMLE format to help study and prepare for boards.

What impressed you negatively?

It was so cold, 2 degrees in the morning and I am from az. But overall I liked the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The block scheduling, They only have one or 2 classes at a time. Haven't seen that at the other schools I visited, but the students seem to like it.

What are your general comments?

Got their at 9:00. Had my interview at 9:30. Went back to the conference room and chatted with the other applicants (really friendly group). Went on a tour with a 4th year. It was a little long and we didn't see the hospitals even though they are connected to the school. Had lunch where the dean came and spoke. Then had a financial aid talk. That was it, some people had their interviews in the afternoon instead.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
