What are your general comments?
This was the most relaxed experience I think I will have as far as interviews go. The admissions director was a little intimidating, but he seems like he is a good guy. We got there early and were lead to a room where the ad director talks about the school. The morning session (the one I was in) interviews almost immediately as you get upstairs, so be prepared to go once you get out of the elevator. The room was really small -- you cannot hide from any questions or eye contact. My interviewer was nice, and I didn't really get any hard questions. Afterwards we were treated to lunch and a video of their Match Day. A tour followed and I was back in my hometown six hours later. Painless.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What happened with your grades (in your first semester)?
What was the most interesting question?
Do you think you can practice primary care in an inner city setting?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Barnes & Noble! Read as many interview med school prep books as you can to gather possible questions...read up on medical ethics, did mock interviews with friends, looked over AMCAS AND Morehouse secondary
What was the most difficult question?
None really...it was more like a conversation. The interviewer did ask me about my horrible first semester grades, but I was prepared with an answer
What impressed you positively?
The professionalism. From the admissions director to the ladies who greet you in front of the building, they continually impressed me with their demeanor. This school has a relaxed atmosphere but has some real serious students.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing major...except the ratio was quite horrible ... there were only two guys there. The rumor that the school favors African American girls was no joke -- they really did only except five guys a few years back.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How easy the campus was to find...the directions were right on target. Being in the middle of the AUC is a pretty good area to be due to the neighboring schools in the vicinity.
