⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
No change 😐
What was the stress level of the interview?
5 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
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
💬 Interview Process
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"
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 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
What impressed you positively?
I knew the city and the school..so nothing in particular
What impressed you negatively?
same as above
Success!
