Tell me about your research paper. What did you conclude?
What will be the greatest challenge you will face in medicine?
Why Medicine? What did you get out of your volunteer experience?

What was the most interesting question?

unfortunately , this is why I was stressed out.. I didn't really receive any interesting questions, except one about my personal statement (but it won't help you if I post it, so I won't waste the space)

What was the most difficult question?

I was asked all the 'general' vague questions like why medicine? tell me about your volunteer experience.... What will be your greatest challenge in medicine.. these were difficult, because they weren't too specific so I felt like I was being vague as well.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website, read the news, practiced outloud

What impressed you positively?

The anatomy lab is awesome, Dr. Haight is obviously amazing as well. The students are so friendly and seem really happy . I liked the lecture halls and the fact that it's near the bay.. I love the school. (the OMM tables were brand new.. so that was kinda cool too)

What impressed you negatively?

Not a whole lot, except the obvious.. you're kinda far away from Starbucks, etc... but whatever... that's not even a big deal.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

None

What are your general comments?

Overall good experience. Hotel was nice, Dr. Haight helps you out so much. The interviewers are nice, the students are very friendly, basically it was a great day. I liked the panel format, but I just didn't feel like my interviewers were asking me interesting questions. For example, one interviewee has been abroad, is an artist, and got to speak about teaching. Those things are fun to talk about, but no one asked me about my art background or my college athletics experience, or my teaching. It just seemed odd.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
