⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

I think it went pretty well...but then that's to be seen at the end of the month when I can find out some kind of decision. Like I said, it was actually pretty low-stress and the actual interview was basically like a conversation with the interviewer, which helped. Wayne seems like an excellent school (with all the hospitals around it), and I'd be happy to go there.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Since I was told everything that had happened to me and how serious it was after I woke up from life support and had the tubes taken out, he asked me if I, as the doctor, would tell my patient what happened and the seriousness of the situation straight out (like how close they had been to death, etc).

What was the most interesting question?

How did you prepare for the interview?

looked at the website, looked over my apps, looked on this site, and talked to people who both go there and have interviewed there

What was the most difficult question?

probably the same one as above, since it was semi-controversial

What impressed you positively?

how relaxed and relatively low-stressed it was and how nice everyone was

What impressed you negatively?

they barely showed us anything during the tour, and since I've taken one before with our pre-med club, I know there was more they could show...also, how spaced out the interviews were, I would think it would be more efficient to have all of us interview before the tour and around the same time (but that was a small thing)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really...I already knew it would be a pretty low-stress and conversational interview from people I've talked to
