What are your general comments?
This was by far the most casual interview I've had so far. My interviewer did almost as much talking as I did and told me off the bat that he wasn't interested in "rehearsal answers to typical interview questions." The day was a really nice break from the standard interview.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Who are you voting for in the presidential election?
What was the most interesting question?
How do you deal with a patient who needs treatment but can't afford it? (This was relevant because I work in a pharmacy and wrote about this in my personal statement)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Other interviews
What was the most difficult question?
Are there any physical disabilities that would prevent one from successfully becomming a doctor?
What impressed you positively?
After my interview, the doctor I was with brought me around and introduced me to various deans--just to prove the point that their doors are always open and they are really interested in knowing their students.
What impressed you negatively?
The location--there is absolutely nothing around campus to do and it's not especially easy to get into manhatten (you have to take a bus to a subway station).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The school doesn't notify applicants until January.
