⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

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

What are your general comments?

Overall had a good time. Particularly enjoyed my second interview. The doctor even went so far as to said he was recommending me for admission... and then, over a month later (it was supposed to have only been 2 weeks), I got flat-out rejected. I was really really disappointed. Why is it that people who think they had lousy interviews are the ones who get in?
💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

Was never really asked a discrete question... more just asked to talk about myself, etc.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed the website, my application, etc.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are incredible, and the students seemed laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviews were not held when scheduled. My second interviewer kept me waiting for over an hour. The meal requests (vegetarian, kosher) were not honored.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Many students do an MPH during their third year.
