💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

They asked me if as a non-trad student, if I would be more likely to study individually or in a group. I answered that in hands on activities, I would take advantage of the group atmosphere to learn from others, however, I would also spend a great deal of time studying on my own.

How did you prepare for the interview?

This site and I spent 30-40 hrs per week shadowing doctors.

What was the most difficult question?

If you could change anything in your past, what would it be? I answered that there are many things that I wish I had chosen to do differently, however, I feel that you have to take the good with the bad and it is hard to place a value on what one can learn from their mistakes.

What impressed you positively?

The interview is what you make of it. Some students interviewed with the same people I did and came away unhappy with the questions asked and material covered. My advice to you is to make good use of your time. Think before speaking and answer the question in as few words as possible. If the interviewer wants you to elaborate, they will ask you to do so. This means that you have struck a chord so to speak and they are interested in what you have to say. This is a good thing. If they just move on, then you know that you have answered the question to their satisfaction. This is a good thing also.

What impressed you negatively?

I have nothing negative to say about the school or the experiance as a whole.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Maria is from UMASS.
