💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about where you grew up.
What was the most interesting question?
Do you think that doctors in academia are better than non-academic physicians?

Read through the HMS viewbook, read interview feedbacks from SDN.
What was the most difficult question?
Nothing too difficult--basically every question focused on my AMCAS personal statement.
What impressed you positively?
Basically everything! School was awesome, the facilities were among the best I have seen thus far.

And the number of hospitals/research institutions, including MIT, affiliated with HMS is just amazing.

Cold weather (I'm a CA native), and the tour was kind of lacking.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
There is a lot of down time. Explore the medical school campus.
