💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What other languages can you speak?

What was the most interesting question?

Nihongo dekimasuka? (Do you speak Japanese?)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Didn't prepare. Totally winged it. It was my 6th interview.

What was the most difficult question?

Why Tulane? Why else? Why else? Why else? (I ran out of reason after a while)

What impressed you positively?

New Orleans never sleeps. Charity Hospital. Clinical experience from minute 1. You can walk into any specialty department and they'll put you to work right away. People have a life outside of med school.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are a little run down. Anatomy lab not as well ventilated as anatomy labs in other schools. They are also small and cramped and without windows.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would be difficult to find food that's not fried.
