💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Case: you have a patient that comes into the ER and needs surgery within a short period of time. He wants to speak with his doctor first. You speak to the doctor and he insists on coming in to the operating room and is drunk. What do you do. (you must address all aspects of the issue)
What would you do with someone visiting you from a different city?
Who do you admire most? What president do you admire most? (and why)

What was the most interesting question?

A child was in an accident and needs surgery. His parents do not believe in medical intervention. What do you do? (vis a vis the parents, treatment of the patient)

What was the most difficult question?

What president do you admire most and why? (i find it hard to remember specifics about things like people and then on top of it, the person next to me had just answered with the president that I wanted to use. Good thing we had different answers)

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, the website, my secondary, AMCAS

What impressed you positively?

The school was great, everyone was very accessible. The students were very excited and enthusiastic about the school. They couldn't have spoken more highly of the program. NWU also was very accomodating with my schedule. They had assigned me to a date 2 weeks later and allowed me to move it to when I was going to be in Chicago with little notice (i called on Monday and had the interview on Friday).

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really. they were wonderful.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

learned more about the way the curriculum works which was helpful. we did a mock 15 minute simulation and it was very insightful as to how the courses are taught.

What are your general comments?

The school was great, everyone was very accessible. There are 2 interviews, one 15-minute one-on-one with people like the Dean and Associate of Admissions. The other was a 3 on 3 and you had a case to work on with you fellow interviews. I met with the Dean and she was PHENOMENAL. I "fell in love" with her and she was probably one of the single best aspects about the whole day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
