What are your general comments?
I was prepared to dislike Stanford, as I didn't like it when I visited at the end of high school. But I really enjoyed both interviews, and the school can't be beat if you have direction, motivation, and you're tired of cold weather!
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read up on Stanford's curriculum; it was also my sixth interviews, so I was well-practiced
What was the most difficult question?
After already explaining why I want to go into medicine in a previous question, my interviewer then explicitly asked me why I wanted to go into medicine. I felt like what I just said was unintelligable.
What impressed you positively?
The weather, the up-beat students, pass/fail grading, new hospital/clinical/research buildings, and the weather.
What impressed you negatively?
The school buildings are kind of crappy.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Stanford really tries to help middle class medical students as well as those with greater need. It's helpful to know about your personal financial status to determine for what types of Stanford financial aid you might qualify.
