What are your general comments?
So I arrived fifteen minutes late due to the traffic and thought that I was going to get rejected for sure (luckily, this took a little stress off of the interview itself cause I figured I was already in the dog-house). I was escorted to my interviewer's office where I vehemently appologized for my tardiness, only to find out that she was a very sweet, understanding lady. The interview started with her asking the general "tell me about yourself" question, went on to some stuff about my research, my act/sat scores and highschool life(although i have no idea why), my family, etc. Most of the time we were just talking on topics that came about through tangents in the conversation. I had my friend show me around the campus so I did not go on the tour. All in all, the campus is pretty much what I expected.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
tell me about yourself? tell me about your family?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read most of the interview feedbacks, practiced possible questions, did some self-assessment, and read up on some information regarding the school. Really, I needed to do none of this.
What was the most difficult question?
If you are interested in research, why didn't you choose the md/phd program?
What impressed you positively?
The interviewer, plus the location of the school is not as bad as I thought it would be.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities are second-rate, but the in-state tuition is niiiiice.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interview at this school in particular was completely stress free. Oh yeah, I-75 southbound was a complete mess. I live 1/2 hour away and it took me an hour and a half to get there.
Success!
