Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

My faculty interview was very conversational, but the conversation was directed by questions about my personal statement. It was mainly a discussion of things that I wrote about and how I felt about them.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Tell me what your parents think of their health care. We had been speaking about health care services and cost shifting, but this was a little difficult to answer as I have not had really in depth discussions with the folks about their insurance. The question was asked in conversation though and was not a big deal.

Dean Callahan seemed really super nice and all the students were very friendly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Being couped up in a boardroom around a large table with the many other applicants. This environment wasn't incredibly conducive to speaking with multiple other interviewees.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the % of underrepresented minorities needs more improvement.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I had a nice time at Jefferson. It seems to be a very good program where everyone gets along nicely. The gym could use some improvements. Philly is a nice city (especially if you like cheesesteaks!) and the cities population is pretty diverse ethnically and socioeconomically providing the type of medical experience I am hoping to have.
