1 out of 10

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was by far the best experience I have had (i've had 2 others) I was totally relaxed and she actually appreciated my "butt-wiping" jobs unlike other schools. She said I would be an asset to the school and profession! I felt very positive when I left the interview, but being January, I was put on the alternate list.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

2 ethical dilemmas: delegating between limited resources and girl comes to your office with desire to have abortion.

You are an ER doc. deciding between two patients that need a liver. You only have one liver. One is young but a recovering drug addict and the other is an old professor. How would you decide?

this site, mock interview with roomate, website

What was the most difficult question?

How would your relationship with family/friends change when in medical school?

What impressed you positively?

I didn't really do anything beside interview because of the crappy roads and snow storm. I arrived at 9:15am and was outta there by 10:45am. Financial aide rep wasn't there and I did not choose to have tour/lunch. Anyways, I didn't see much of the school. Facilities are a little run down, but I think the reputation speaks for itself.

What impressed you negatively?

Run down facilities, parking.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Admissions office staff really aren't that friendly.
