💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

what is your biggest strength/what would you do if you were in a group and one person wasn't pulling their weight
what kind of doctor do you want to be
why do you want to be a doctor

What was the most interesting question?

following one of my comments I was asked "are you thick skinned", I answered it was getting thicker..though still not quite as thick as I'd like, and then I was asked "how have you become thicker skinned"

What was the most difficult question?

after being asked what specialty I wanted to go into...I was asked "as a female, how do you feel about going into a specialty that is so male dominated" ..Part of me felt I shouldn't be asked that when there are so many females in medicine, but it is still a thoughtful question because there are definitely issues associated with going into an area dominated by the opposite sex that I think are worth thinking about

How did you prepare for the interview?

came to this site, thought carefully about why I really wanted to be a dr. (and how I could convey that in a thoughtful and slightly original way), but also made a point to not prepare too much--so that my answers would not be too scripted

What impressed you positively?

I knew the city and the school..so nothing in particular

What impressed you negatively?

same as above

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was fine. I got in and am writing this a year after the fact, because I appreciated the information I found on the site last year.but forgot about it until I started hearing about them this year : ) I did come out feeling like it was almost a bit boring, no ethical questions and a lot related to the very typical interview questions..see below

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
