💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Nothing hard at all. Basically a conversation. I lucked out on my interviewer. Some people had open ended questions like "how did you get here".
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing especially interesting. We talked about politics to how bad the public school system is in my hometown.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Not much other than getting dressed.
What impressed you positively?
The school is spectacular. Everyone is friendly and seemed very happy, even though I interviewed the week before exam week. New children's hosptial being built and entire hospital being remodeled.
What impressed you negatively?
The interview is only worth a letter of recommendation. Not much diversity. I say about 90% white, and majority in-state and from UW-madison.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I went to undergrad here and was pretty determined that this was not the school for me, but after the interview it is at the top of my list. A lot of my friends feel the same way.
