💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Mostly questions about my AMCAS and the application. Interestingly, there was a part of the secondary application that asked if you were selected for an interview, what would you most like to talk about, and I wasn't asked anything about what I put down!

What was the most interesting question?

Tell me two things, one academic, and one personal about something you have learned during undergrad.

What was the most difficult question?

What is a recent medical breakthrough that you have read about?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read the Albany website, looked over my application, UW ethics site

What impressed you positively?

I liked the students and the people, everyone was very friendly. Housing is cheap in Albany.

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition, also I wasn't really a fan of the city of Albany, probably because I'm from a big city in the Midwest. It wouldn't be so bad though...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I was a little nervous about getting a bunch of ethical "what would you do" type questions, but I actually only got one in each interview, and they were both about my experiences with DNR/living will orders at the emergency dept I work at. A couple of other people I talked to got many ethical questions though, so I think it's just luck of the draw. Also, I stayed with a student, which was definitely worth it since there isn't great transportation aside from taxis within the city, and I don't think there are a ton of hotels in the immediate area.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
