💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How well-prepared do you think you are based on your basic science background? (As opposed to my healthcare background, which is stronger)
Tell me about yourself. (I liked the way this started, and it turned into a laid-back, conversation-type interview.)
What are your ties to Kentucky?

What was the most interesting question?

Can't remember the exact question, but we talked about healthcare professionals who smoke, esp in Kentucky, where tobacco is such a big industry

What was the most difficult question?

You are obviously well-prepared for medical school from a health-perspective; how well do you think you are qualified from a basic science perspective? (My undergrad GPA was lower than my graduate MPH GPA)

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over some basic questions, read over school information; I should have prepared better for my first interview, but I was very busy getting my thesis together at the same time.

What impressed you positively?

The clinical experiences beginning in first year. The technology labs with the mannekins were amazing; I like that they use standardized patients and make it a formal, mock-office visit

What impressed you negatively?

The immediate area surrounding the campus; I didn't have much time to tour Louisville, but even though the immediate vicinity didn't have too much going for it, I was assured the rest of the city was nicer

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing; everything went well.

What are your general comments?

I had a great day; I showed up extra early because I flew in, and the admissions office staff was very helpful in directing me to a local drugstore to pick up a few things and letting me store my carry-on bag in the office. Since I had a late flight out as well, my second interviewer even gave me a private tour of the hospitals on campus as he was on his way to a meeting.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
