⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
No change 😐
What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
I had one student interviewer and one faculty member. I also had one of my interviews at the VA, which is easily the nicest hospital I have ever seen.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How did you decide to return to school?
What was the most interesting question?
How hard did you study for the MCAT? (The interviewer asked because I did all of my prerequisites at a community college, did fairly well on the MCAT, and he was wondering if I actually learned the material there or if I studied 100/wk-it was the former)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reveiwed primary & secondary apps., scoured the website
What impressed you positively?
All the personal touches-Because the class size is small (86) everyone in the admissions office knows all of the students by name, I had a 30 min. one-on-one interview with financial aid, was given an individual exit interview at the end of the day...
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had known more about the amazing financial aid-I would have brought some hard numbers so I could get a better approximation of where I stood $wise.
