What are your general comments?
I think I was long winded enough, so I will just say that I loved this school. The little things...such as receiving an itinerary with my name on it...lets me know that Pitt spends much time and effort on making sure that the day goes smoothly.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
In addition to asking "why medicine," my interviewer inquired as to what steps I've taken to discover whether or not medicine really is for me.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read SDN interview feedback, and I read and re-read the literature and website for UPitt.
What was the most difficult question?
Describe your study habits to me. I could either lie and pretend as if I'm super-student, or I could use this opportunity to tell the truth. I chose the latter, and I am glad to be asked this question instead of the typical "what are your weaknesses" question.
What impressed you positively?
The faculty was incredibly friendly and knowledgable about their school. The students were friendly and seemed quite happy and, for lack of a better description, NORMAL. My interviewers were engaging, pleasant and did a great job of conveying the school's interest in me as a person, not just a set of numbers. The campus and facilities are very impressive, and the town seems like a great place to live. I also appreciated the continental breakfast, although I was too paranoid about my suit to consume anything other than apple juice.
What impressed you negatively?
Absolutely nothing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
No surprises here.
