Report Response | I was asked this too

What's the hardest piano piece you've ever played? (What, was he trying to test me on my piano playing prowess? This was at the end of the interview when I was visibly upset from his unrelentless beating of my application and credentials).

Why do you work in genetics if you crashed and burned in your genetics course?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

None were interesting, the guy was just concerned with humiliating me as much as possible.

What was the most difficult question?

Why did you bomb your genetics class? And why do you work in a genetics lab if you "crashed and burned" in genetics? This was after I had been asked what my worst grade was, and I replied B- in genetics. So I told this guy that at my college, genetics is the hardest class you can take, it's notorious for being ridiculously hard, and I don't consider B- crash and burn. He asked what was hard about it, and I said, the level of detail they expect undergraduates to know was a little unrealistic. He snorted and said, "What do you think medical school is like?" To which I replied, "there's a difference when you're an undergrad and have four other courses to worry about simultaneously." He snorted again, shook his head, sighed, rolled his eyes, and finally moved on.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Nothing, really. The students looked miserable, the tour guides were boring and didn't seem happy, and the facilities were nothing exciting. I was also not impressed with the dorms, where every single student seems to live. I can't imagine being in the middle of nowhere and living with all my classmates right across the walkway from the classroom building. Seems like med-school summer camp to me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Everything. Read above. It was the worst interview day out of 11 that I have had.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That virtually nobody lives off campus, and the administration is bigoted. (Catholic - they don't like gay people.)

Awful, negative, disheartening, humiliating, waste of money, waste of effort, waste of time.
