💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

The first guy was rather rude and checked his phone throughout the entire interview. He introduced himself, said it wasn't actually a doctor and then said: "now you have the floor". He then interrupted to ask questions about things that I had said. Nothing specific about the school, just clarifying questions about things I said. I think he was trying to be rude to see if he could get a response out of me. IF this happens to you, just know what it is you want to say and say it.

I loved that the lunch and tour of the school were one/two on one. This really allowed me to ask all of the questions I wanted to ask and showed the school was trying to impress me too.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

You should update your application software. Having to download documents for the residency form was simply a pain. There are application portals where you can upload information easier. Also, ensure the people you have interviewing are actually the people you want representing the school.
