💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me more about clinical experiences.
Why MD/Phd? This was more of a grilling session...(the guy pretty much presented the woefully long duration of the program, difficulty level, stress afterwards to dissaude me...I just smiled.
Why UVM?

What was the most interesting question?

Is there any issue/has there been a time that just makes you want to jump out of the soap box and say something?

What was the most difficult question?

See above. I messed up here. I thought he was referring to my communication skills. He later rephrased the question. Hey, it was my third interview that day and I was tired after less than 4 hours of sleep in two days.

How did you prepare for the interview?

This time, I only read my research reports since I was interviewing for the MD/Phd position.

What impressed you positively?

The graduate programs and level of intergration among the departments. I arrived about 7am and talked to an M1 for about 45 minutes. She was extremely nice and other students wanted to answer our questions too.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was not organized...I was really looking forward to the tour...it's a major factor when I consider schools. I can always go back for a second look...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Burlinton International Airport is NOT AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. It's more like a terminal of a local , jet only airports. The security was up my a** and I hate small jets.

What are your general comments?

Overall, this is a very nice school and would consider going there if accepted for any program. A little expensive but let's face it, financial consideration is the last thing on my mind right now. Burlington is not diverse but the people are respectful and cool. I actually overtipped my taxi driver because he gave me a lot of tips about UVM and Burlington which helped me in the interviews. Cool place but I am a city blood and that may be a problem because I do not consider Burlington to be a city.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
