💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about your journey in life up to this point?
What was the most interesting question?
With your background, are you sure you actually NEED an M.D.?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read AMCAS statement and questions I submitted before. Read up on stem cell research, medicare/medicaid, gene
therapy etc. (and I didn't get a single question about any of them).
What impressed you positively?
How genuinely interested in students the faculty are. My second interviewer was so nice I wanted to hug him before I left....and I'm a guy. He really scratched beneath the surface to get at my character and my temperament. I left there feeling like I had exposed my soul.
What impressed you negatively?
Two of the students that gave us a tour were nice, but far
too giggly and flighty for this kind of task. They also didn't seem to know very much about the school and they talked WAY too much and too quickly. This left me with a bad impression of the student body.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Rochester invented the biopsychosocial approach to medical care and they are very proud of it.
