⭐ Overall Impressions

What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
I really didn't expect to be as impressed as I was with the level of education that Mayo offers. I can't imagine anyone not succeeding once they attend school there. There are a wealth of opportunities there that I didn't really see at the other schools. I left wishing on a star that I would be one of the 40 students matriculating there.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
If you worked in a group with a colleague who was an irresponsible, bad doctor, what would you do, if anything?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, amcas
What was the most difficult question?
If a great doctor is a wife-beater at home, should he still be considered a professional?
What impressed you positively?
the financial aid, incredible stats such as ridiculously high board scores, 100% residency matching...everyone seems so accomplished, and it seems to be a result of being at that school. The small class size. I would think that the students must be incredibly spoiled by the high faculty-to-student ratio. (12 to 1, I think?!)
What impressed you negatively?
the LOOOONG interview day. I was afraid that I was coming off as standoffish when I was just incredibly tired and jet-lagged.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
to wear comfortable shoes with no height whatsoever because I must have walked miles during all the tours.
