💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Have you ever been really really angry at someone? What did you do?
Have you ever been tempted to do something less than ideal? (unetehical, such as cheating, lying, etc. etc.)
Pick a moment in your life that you feel was a turning point for you. Describe the event and how it affected you.

What was the most interesting question?

A man runs into your house looking panicked. He then runs out and you see him run to the left. Another man walks in with a knife and says, "Where is that guy...I'm going to kill him!" What do you say to the man? (In the end, I was told that the true answer is to tell the truth...) I said that I would like to say, "I DOn't know" but in reality, if I was scared for my life, I would probably tell the truth. (I think they were looking for the idea that you would not lie)

What was the most difficult question?

Tell me what you know about the current healthcare system in India.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Answered a bunch of interview-style questions, read up on current events, looked at the Chicago's website.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very nice and respectuful. They took their interview process very seriously.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was a bit jumbled and the student interview was at the end (so I was already very tired)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is a pass/fail school, they are heavily into research, and the weather can be cold.

What are your general comments?

It starts of with a presentation, followed by interviews, a tour, and then the second set of interviews. Both student and faculty member were very nice during the interview and I felt like they were genuinely interested in getting to know me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
