What are your general comments?
Just be yourself, It's a a really chill day! Also had my favorite interview lunch at Einstein, but maybe that's because I got tired of sandwiches/wraps all the time:D Oh and don't look up the name of your interviewer before your interview, you may be intimidated by his amazing accomplishments, and then you may cry haha. But my interviewer was only intimidating on paper so you can if you're that curious. :D
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why did you choose to go to your undergrad?
What was the most interesting question?
Name a question that has caught you off at guard at your previous interviews. Then I had to tell him my answer to said annoying question haha.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I just read through my application, a few interview books, SDN, etc
What was the most difficult question?
What do you think about programs that pay for your medical school education if you choose to go into a certain speciality/work into a certain area? Does this result in one unhappily working in a certain field/location just to save money? Is this right?
What impressed you positively?
Everything!! Wow..loved how chill the day was. Having oreos, chips, trail mix, coffee, tea, and water available in morning was awesome! Also love that during the tour, the students actually allowed us to see inside their apartments. They're pretty good for the price! Note: for the price;). I just love the whole campus, oh and the pre-clinical years are actually true P/F so that is amazing:) Lunch was pretty good too. And the 3rd year student we had for the tour was amazingly funny and real about everything about Einstein-the good and the ugly.
What impressed you negatively?
I was extremely impressed by everything! Except the gym. It's pretty small, so if you're someone who goes to the gym a lot you should get a membership at the gym down the block. Oh and the library is kind of small as well, but there's a bunch of empty classrooms and other study areas available.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Hmm, just how chill the day would be.
