💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Some HMO questions. This came up from one of my answers...one thing led to another. Try to know about the alternatives that have been proposed over the years but be honest. I simply stated that I really do not see a better system but talked about my takes on the single payer system.

What impressed you positively?

Honestly? Almost everything. It's very hard to find a negative thing about this school. Affordable housing, enthusiastic staff, friendly students (no acting), diverse population, EXCELLENT LUNCH, beautiful city, lot's of scholarship (out of staters--dont worry too much about paying the fees). Airport is less than 30 mins from the school ( I fly a lot)I can go on and on. The school is pretty fancy for a state medical school.

What impressed you negatively?

The winter. However, there are tunnels and skywalks so everything is cool. Like I said, you must have a pretty nasty experience before you find a bad thing about this institution. I really hope I get in.

What are your general comments?

Interviews are supposed to be 30 mins. My interviewer was pretty cool so we "chatted" a lot as she was conversational. I spent about 15 mins talking about her own research so my interview was over an hour. Great institution! They feed me really well. Everything was organized and professional but they still communicated the fact that they want you to be comfortable. Some of the special things at the U includes: Emphasis on International medicine Emphasis on research Numerous hospitals around for rotations Early clinical exposure Flexibility in classes during the 3rd and 4th year Massive emphasis on physican and medical student well being.
