Who was an effective leader in your life, and how did he/she lead?

What was the most interesting question?

Describe the strengths and weaknesses of one of your friends?

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing was really difficult. The interviewers asked me questions about myself. There were no ethical questions. I felt like the interviewers were really trying to get to know me. Also, they do have everything in your file, except MCAT and GPA. Utah feels these last two credentials create bias in the interviews.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoctor.net, primary and secondary applications. Practiced questions usually asked to Utah applicants.

What impressed you positively?

The detail that Utah goes into in order to select their students. Some may say that it is long and drawn out, however, I think it's actually beneficial in order to surface the most qualified applicants. After interviewing, some applicants are notified of their acceptance early, but a majority tend to find out around April.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. There are a lot of opportunities at the University of Utah.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were no surprises.

What are your general comments?

Utah has an excellent school. Something I'm really looking for in a school is how unified students are. I thought Utah would have a very competitive environment, however, several students stated that one of their favorite things about Utah is the non-competitive aspect between classmates. I think this fosters a better learning environment for me. The only person I'm competing with is myself.
