💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Almost all of my questions were totally specific to my application and personal history.

What was the most interesting question?

What will you do if you are put into a situation where an attending is hell bent on showing he is in power, and he/she tells you to perform a procedure you are ethically against?

What was the most difficult question?

probably the same as above. I am very against abortion, and she wanted to know how I would handle being told I had to do it.

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read application, read school's website. Not much time for anything else. It was slightly last-minute.

What impressed you positively?

The interview was so conversational and low-key. Very casual, and non-stressful.

What impressed you negatively?

The lunch and tour were way too rushed. I didn't have much time to get to my interview or collect my thoughts afterward.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have an interview of an hour and 45 minutes. I'm from California, so it was no big deal, but I had no idea when to expect the afternoon to be over. It would have been a problem if i had needed to catch a plane.

What are your general comments?

It was the most casual easygoing interview ever, but the admissions office-sponsored stuff seemed way to scattered and rushed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
