What was the most interesting question?

how do you think your having to assume adult responsibilities early in life affects your practice of medicine?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Because it flowed more like a discussion, there weren't "difficult" questions that were asked for the sake of stumping me. But the interviewers certainly posed challenging issues for me to discuss, and were interested in how well I have thought out my decision.

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, practiced answering questions with a good friend and then someone who i didn't know as well. (because of the open-ended nature of the discussion format, it would be very helpful to practice answering questions and discuss your reasons for wanting to go into medicine with someone beforehand)

What are your general comments?

i was interviewing for post-bacc, which I understand is basically structured like an actual med school interview. I just didn't get the complete tour, and perhaps the questions weren't as specific when it concerned medicine. but overall, it's very low stress. definitely prepare and take it seriously, but enjoy the ride, because they will try to make you feel very comfortable.
