✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview with friends who had my AMCAS application in front of them, standard interview questions (i.e. why medicine)

What impressed you positively?

My faculty interviewer was so kind and asked me if there was anything else we didn't discuss that I would like to highlight for the admissions committee.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. It was an amazing experience.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is truly a chill interview. The student interview is closed file, and the faculty interview is open file. The student interview is to check if you will fit in with the class, if you are a team player, and if you have interests outside of medicine. The faculty interview is where they check if you can handle the academic rigor, if you truly have a passion for medicine, etc.
