No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read a few papers on my research

What impressed you positively?

The plethora of medical institutions in the area and the fact that students seem happy and excited about their school and program.

What impressed you negatively?

The cold, the lack of sunshine, and the seemingly lack of cohesion among the interviewers and departments.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

It was not as difficult as expected. I interviewed with the HST Program and found both the student interviewer and the faculty interviewers very friendly. They mostly asked about my experiences, research, what makes me want to be a doctor, and what makes me want to be a researcher. The campus is quite nice although the weather was somewhat cold. The students were more friendly than expected, and facilities are top notch.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
