💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself?
What field of medicine are you interested in?
Which science class did you like the best, the least?

What was the most interesting question?

The majority of the interview content involved conversational exchange of information directly related to my file. It was very low stress and I felt that the faculty was just trying to get to know me.

What was the most difficult question?

None of the questions were difficult. The one question that I felt I answered the worst was "Tell me about yourself". Even though I had practiced answering this question, I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before the interview and I lost my train of thought in the middle of the response...looked bad I am sure!

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and admissions staff were friendly and caring, they really strive to make you feel welcome. The campus is beautiful and the college has state of the art technology!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, I think we were all disappointed at the end of the day when we were informed that all of the seats were full and we would only be eligible for the waitlist. Maybe this should have been told to us when we scheduled the interview so we could have opted out if we so desired.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
