What are your general comments?
This was my first interview, and I feel much more relaxed about the rest of them now. The interviewers (one a med student, the other a physician) were low-pressure and really seemed interested in getting to know me. Both asked question directly from my essays, so know those inside out and be ready to explain even a single sentence. Although I think they have a great program, they didn't really show us anything exciting. I don't have a frame of reference yet, so I'm not sure how they might have made the day more interesting. It was a really long day (8-3), so bring a snack for the morning.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
How do you think doctors are perceived by society?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read my essays, looked at CU's (very minimal) website.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about yourself (really, really, have a brief summary prepared-it's easy to go nowhere with this one).
What impressed you positively?
Organization-they tell you which pre-recs are missing from their records, very open to questions throughout process.
What impressed you negatively?
The new campus has a long way to go, and the students (who were really nice and enthusiastic about the school) who gave the tour got lost and weren't quite sure what they should show us.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interviewers have partial access to your file-they see your essays and expereinces, but don't know your grades.
