💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Have you even taken any science courses? -yeah, that was a funny one.
What books are you reading (incidentally, no one else in the room had even heard of the most influential book of the last century--Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, which was dissapointing).
What do you think about gay marriage?

What was the most interesting question?

What I thought of Bush and Kerry.

What was the most difficult question?

Why in the world I was an Economics Major--I had to seriously defend myself, which was difficult to do because the interview was entirely in Spanish.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up about Puerto Rico's healthcare system. I had been reading on the internet, gathering any info I could find. Unfortunately, Puerto Rico is a little behind technology wise, and you can't really find much info on the school.

What impressed you positively?

The students who showed us the ropes were awesome. Seriousely some of the nicest people my wife and I have ever met.

What impressed you negatively?

A couple of people told us that some of the teachers were lame. The med school is small and someone made the comment that the facilities remind them of high school. I thought it was nice enough, though. (then again, I didn't interview anywhere else).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that the school really wants science majors. That way, I would have been able to defend myself better when I had to get defensive about being an econ. major.

What are your general comments?

Good, low stress interview. Some of the questions seemed canned (like--"if you like to work with people, why not be a social worker?). Overall it was a good experience. I was a little scared when I first showed up (as were the other interviewees), but as the day went on, the place started to grow on me (and I think the others as well).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
