💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Have you been involved in organizations outside of school and what type of extra-cirricular activities do you take part in?
What experience have you had as far as volunteer work and exposure to medicine?
What type of qualities do you think it's important for a physician to have and do you possess them?

What was the most interesting question?

Give me an example of how you are a caring and compassionate person.

What was the most difficult question?

Give me an example of how you are a caring and compassionate person. The physician had first asked what qualities are important for a physician and when I mentioned being caring and compassionate she asked if I was and how I could show her. It was difficult for me to articulate how I am an empathetic person, but I used volunteer work at Shriner's and my compassion for the children to try to have her understand.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Yes, I went on studentdoctor.net and reviewed past interviews as well as rehearsing questions I thought might be asked.

What impressed you positively?

The feeling you get that the faculty are really there to help you in any way possible and the students were extremely nice and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

It was a bit disorganized in getting to the interviewers, since my first interview went over because we were running late.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it is really comfortable and laid back so there is no need to stress out over it. They really are just trying to get to know you since the interviewers don't know anything about you.

What are your general comments?

One of the two interviews was with a fourth-year medical student so it was completely comfortable and conversational. The other interview was with a physician and primarily she wanted to know about volunteer work, research, my motivation, leadership, and my humanism with medicine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
