⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

It was a great first interview experience. They don't put you under any stress, and it seems to me that they try to pair you up with an interviewer with a similar background. Go to the pizza party and the breakfast.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What makes you think that you would make a good doctor?

What was the most interesting question?

Who do you think should be responsible for the regulation of the use of the knowledge gained from stem cell research, genetic engineering . . . (Came out of a conversation we were having)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at the web site, looked over my applications, and practiced answering the common interview questions.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing really.

What impressed you positively?

They take good care of the interviewees and make you feel like you are really wanted there. It seems as if they go to great lengths to make you comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

The room they put me up in was drab. But considering that they are not required to give us a place to stay, it was pretty good.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be finished in time to make it to the airport for a 5:00 p.m. flight. I ended up getting a flight for the next morning. Take the metro, it doesn't cost much and you get there in 30 minutes.
