💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

First interviewer: "If a 12 yr old wanted contraception, would you tell her parents?" "What are your favorite activities?" "If you only had time for one activity(because med school was taking up so much of your time), which would you pick? (my activities were biking, snowboarding, volunteering and visiting my family)." "What do you think will be the hardest part of med school for you?"

What was the most difficult question?

I was given a matchstick puzzle. 16 matchsticks were arranged to form 5 squares and I had to find a way to (moving only 2 matchsticks) for 4 equal sized squares. Very challenging (and fun)!!
