What are your general comments?

The first interview was open file and the doc didn't bring my file, but knew it very well! They wanted to know about me as a person, where i came from, how i got here, why i'm here, etc. Digging in on me. Sell, Sell, Sell!! The 2nd was closed file and we did alot of why KU, lets pretend, etc. Both were relaxed, yet wanted specific answers
💬 Interview Process

What communities would you be willing to locate to, if you are accepted and graduate?

SDN, mock interviews with premed advisor (who put together a committee), mock with doc friend, gathered info,trends,etc on school from web, prepared myself on a couple of biggies: tort and medicare/medicade (it helped!!)

What was the most difficult question?

Mother and daughter come in to ER, husband killed in accident and mother has severe head trauma and daughter internal injuries. Before mother passes out, she says, no blood products. Both will likely die if not given blood? What do you do? Then other, lets pretend ?'s. There is really no good answer, just want to see your thought process.
