💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

So you shadowed a surgeon in Scotland...what do you think about socialized health care?
Tell me about this 'D'...I though it might be a typo?
The HMO question which was the only sorta tricky one because there was a specific answer he was looking for and it took me a second to figure out where he was going with it.

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing really out of the ordinary. I guess it would have to be "So where do you go to bass fish?"

What was the most difficult question?

A question about working for an HMO and my response to being repeatedly hassled to see more patients.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Student Doctor Network, re-read my 2ndary and personal statment, and some website browsing.

What impressed you positively?

UVa is great. Def. the best school in Virginia and my #1 choice, so I was a bit bummed that it was my _first_ interview. Good tour and lunch, great town: feels bigger than it is, med-students seemed very likable and well adjusted.

What impressed you negatively?

Undergrads are preppie rich kids for the most part but what you gonna do?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It rains a lot so bring an umbrella (they have some there but it shows insight!)

What are your general comments?

Sooo relaxed. More like a conversation than an interview. No one is trying to catch you out. I think I asked more questions than I answered. Very good exp.
