💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Basic stuff about my background, why medicine, what do you want to practice.
Why our school?
Would you be interested in our PBL pathway? Questions were quite boring, I was disappointed. However, I feel that if you were really interested in the school, they would be more challenging and specific.

What was the most interesting question?

All were pretty basic, nothing extrordinarily interesting.

What was the most difficult question?

Why medicine/what about our school would make you want to come here.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN. I didn't prepare much at all for this interview.

What impressed you positively?

The sense of camaraderie of everyone in the program, including the faculty. There really is a "family" type of feel. No gunners. PBL pathway seemed like it was well planned.

What impressed you negatively?

The town is very small. It is a medical school, not a university, no other professional schools nearby. Out of state tuition is really high.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I had forgotten to remove the tags on my new suit until minutes before we were supposed to meet for breakfast:)

What are your general comments?

This interview was a learning experience. Practice, if you will, for other interviews I have in the next few weeks. It confirmed my belief that I don't want to live in WVirginia. I think it really is a great school for the right student. I really got the impression that you will have a successful and complete education, and will learn what you need to have a great career. I personally don't feel that I belong there. I'm very much a bigger city type of person. Would likely go crazy in this type of environment. Stay at the General Lewis Inn! You have to meet there at 7:30am anyway, and it was full of character. Like a true colonial Inn. It felt like I went back in time to the late 1700s. Interviewee rate is way cheaper than normal rate, and totally worth it.
