💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Almost nothing was directly asked. I basically engaged in two separate, long conversations. To be honest, I don't even know if the interviews were supposed to be open or closed file! (Not sure whether this is a good or bad thing in retrospect).

Why would I possibly be interested in joining an ethics committee or IRB (an eventual goal of mine)?

This website, UConn website, previous interview experiences.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Quite a bit. Systems-based curriculum, PBL, minimal lecture time (and the PBL session on the tour, while rudimentary, was still cool). The facilities surprised me by how nice they are, particulary since it's a state school. Better-than-expected avg board score (220 for Step 1), students seem fairly competitive for resident match.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing I can think of right now... Farmington isn't the most happening place I guess.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I've interviewed at quite a few places, and UConn is at the top of my list. I'm not really sure why this school doesn't get more respect (good curriculum, good facilities, MSTP-funded) because it seems like a great place to attend school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I really liked this school (see comments below). I think it would be a great place to study medicine, for a variety of reasons. Connecticut residents are lucky this is their state school.
