⭐ 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?
This was for HST. The faculty interview was open file at Mass Gen and the student was closed file at MIT. You can take the subway to and fro but they'll give you cab fare if you need it. You don't get to see the hospitals on the tour, so visit them in your free time.
On the top floor of the library is a museum with Phineas Gage's skull, check it out.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Are you arrogant? (Same person who asked if I was anal) I'm not, but will someone really believe you if you say no to this question?
What was the most interesting question?
So I see that you have some great grades...are you anal or something? (No joke)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Tried to sleep on the plane.
What was the most difficult question?
My faculty interviewer got me into talking about ethics and cloning and all that garbage, but it was mostly my fault for bringing it up.
What impressed you positively?
The school is very awesome, and HST students are treated like better people, it seemed. But during the day they're all away at MIT so you don't get to meet many unless you come back at night. Boston is also a great city.
What impressed you negatively?
The fact that HST students are too distinct from NP students.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Take the subway from the airport. www.mbta.com
