⭐ 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?
Overall a very good experience. They really lay the sales pitch on thick and I found myself getting impatient during the rather lengthy demonstrations and presentations. However, I was looking for a medical school that promoted a community atmosphere and Des Moines really fit the bill.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Typical ethics question about 15 year old girl suffering from leukemia.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read over my application etc.
What was the most difficult question?
Why should we choose you over other similarly qualified applicants? (always disliked that question).
What impressed you positively?
Very nice faculty and students. Didn't seem that the students were overly ambitious (by that I mean it seemed as if the school fostered a community atmosphere).
What impressed you negatively?
Interview is in the afternoon after lunch and presentations. Would have enjoyed my experience more if I could have had the interview done and out of the way.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Same as above
