What are your general comments?

it was pretty bad overall. the orientation took forever. also, i feel like i'm the only one who had a difficult interview. i was given the last out of 11 interview times, so i got to see 4 or 5 people come back from their interviews, and they all were really positive...except for me.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

why did you choose medicine

What was the most interesting question?

not much. it was a boring interview

How did you prepare for the interview?

website, etc

What was the most difficult question?

"what do you think is the cause of health disparities among groups of people?'

What impressed you positively?

the clinical curriculum is complete and rigorous. it prepares you well for you residency

What impressed you negatively?

the interviewer was mean. i gave a policitally correct answer to the "difficult question" and she didn't think it was good enough, so she asked me to come up with something else. I couldn't think of anything on the spot, so i said that i didn't know, and she said, "well that's just something you're going to have to learn later on." the facilities were kind of ghetto, and the neighborhood is expensive to live in. also, i don't think that the interview focused on the strong aspects of my application. the questions dabbled around them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i don't think it's a good match for me
