7 out of 10
0 = Bad, 10 = Great

What are your general comments?

I was interviewed by three people, two of which were students. I liked that because it gives you a chance to get a lot more real information out of the interview. They give you a LOT of time for questions, both for faculty and students.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about this experience from your file? Why did you choose to do it, what did you learn?

What was the most interesting question?

How do you think you would benefit from the curriculum here? (they recently switched to organ-based)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, reviewed my application, read the paper, read a little on healthcare economics and policy.

What was the most difficult question?

Asked me in detail about an activity I hadn't spent a lot of time on from my first year of undergrad.

What impressed you positively?

How nice all of the admissions people and students were. They clearly spend a great deal of time making sure that you feel good about your time there.

What impressed you negatively?

The technology presentation was a little long for that early in the morning (a little more than a hour).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They get back to you pretty quickly about their decision. There's a fair amount of walking so wear comfortable shoes. Also, the interviews go by a lot quicker than you expect them to.
