💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

No responses

What was the most interesting question?

I was asked how would I deal with the following situation. I am an M4 doing my surgical rotation. During rounds I'm told by the attending to remove a patient's staples in 7 days. The following day, a resident tells me to remove the staples immediately, and insists that I do it even after I tell him it the attending's instructions.

What was the most difficult question?

If I could be any appliance in a kitchen, what would it be and why?

Reading over sample questions and interview at other schools prior. (Did I mention 4 years of college?)

What impressed you positively?

Brand new medical school building opening next year! Hard to top that!

What impressed you negatively?

We were never given a tour because of a miscommunication between the M2's and the admissions office about the timing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The questions weren't too pressing or unexpected. It seemed that they genuinely wanted to know more about me than was in my application. The student was honest with me; he gave me his opinions on both the good and the bad things about the school. I would up interview with a PA instead of a doctor. I had to meet with her in the middle of the hospital, far away from where all the other students interviewed. Her questions seemed mostly formulaic as she asked my question primarily off of a sheet of paper. Her primary concern seemed to be that I understood the responsibilities and problems that physicians face.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
