💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What is the biggest difference in the practice of medicine here vs overseas (I volunteered overseas for some time)
How did you prepare for the interview?
read my amcas app, sdn, current events with the new york times
What was the most difficult question?
nothing really...there was basically one question in the beginning (what made you decide that medicine was for you?) and the rest of the hour, it was related conversation
What impressed you positively?
the happiness of the students!!! it seemed like the whole first year class came to greet us when we were going for lunch. it seems to be a great atmosphere to learn/live in. some professors even came down to say hi. the research track is excellent for people that are interested in research, but dont want to do a PhD (like myself). very impressive facilities and the stats are AMAZing. before i got there, i thought that the 9-5 interview schedule would be unnecessary, but robyn and denise do a great job of organizing the day and it is well worth it! i enjoyed every minute of it. STAN (living, breathing robot) was very cool too
What impressed you negatively?
nothing. i am not sure of the criteria that they will use to differentiate the interviewees, since everyone came back saying that the interviews were very conversational and very relaxed.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
that my interviewer would have my ENTIRE amcas application in front of her (mcat scores, letters and all). slightly intimidating at first and made me wonder if mcat scores/grades would influence her opinion of me...
