No change 😐

4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Definitely a good and fair interview. The interviewers were not as receptive as I had experienced at other schools. However, I think this had a lot to do with me, as I just felt 'off' that day and wasn't being very eloquent!
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why medicine? Why Dalhousie? What if you get in to another uni and Dal? What if you don't get in anywhere? Do you work well in groups - explain with examples. How do you respond when a group member isn't pulling their weight? Do you consider yourself tolerant of someone not pulling their weight?
What was the most interesting question?
Religion obviously plays an important role in your life, how would you handle a 15-year-old patient wanting birth control? What about if she was pregnant and wanted an abortion?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview, this site, read newspaper, looked at Dal's website, talked to Nova Scotia health care professionals (I am from Ont.)
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about a problem that you wish you had handled differently.
