💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Describe an ethical situation a physician might face. (Not the exact wording but it was clear they wanted a good description of the views of both sides...not a specific answer. He keept leading me on for a long time during this...turns out the only other thing he was looking for is that we shouldnt force our views on others...ie abortion stick to your morals, but refer the person to another doc...
What experiences have you had to confirm your desire to pursue medicine?
What unique contribution will you be able to make to the class? What are your biggest faults?

What was the most interesting question?

Pretty standard seeming stuff...I guess the most complicated was when he just asked me to describe an ethical situation (both sides)...which degenerated into a long discussion on stem cell research...all the while he was fishing for a specific point...which i eventually hit on and he finally let us move on.

What was the most difficult question?

What is your greatest weakness? (you know they're going to ask...yet its still hard to answer...)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread essays (didnot come up), came up with some potential general means of answering some questions, read the SDN interview feedback, OSU website

What impressed you positively?

All of the new stuff, how relaxed the students seemed, Dr. Batisky, free breifcase/laptop bag thing, Jimmy Johns for lunch!

What impressed you negatively?

This was my first (and likely only) interview...I was nervous as hell for the first hour or so i was there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not a big deal...but it might be usefull to know that a good portions of the questions he asked came from a list of standard questions given to all of the interviewers (he told me this)... the questions i describe below were from that list (which he wrote my answers on..."so he wouldnt forget")

What are your general comments?

Good experience overall, They notify you two weeks later...which seems pretty fast. I got in...and thus am very happy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
