💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Stayed with some UM 2MD students and learned a lot about the program so I could ask good questions. Made sure I could confidently discuss leadership situations I've been in, and the items I had discussed in my AMCAS and Secondary Application.
What was the most difficult question?
How do feel that you will balance a career in surgery (what I'm interested in going into) with having a family life (as I'm female)?
What impressed you positively?
The whole experience was very positive. I stayed with two fabulous 2MD students and they introduced me to other students as well as answered a lot of my questions while telling me about the school. The day that UM had planned out was great. They let us have lunch with a mix of med students (1MD-4MD) and no admin people present which was great. Also, my interviewer was extremely knowledgeable about the school and answered my questions very thoroughly. I thought his questions were effective in bringing out important information from me for them to make a good decision.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That Miami is SO HOT! (I live in FL and it still amazed me at what temp it could be in December)
