💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Only clarifying questions about my autobiography.
What was the most interesting question?
Tell me everything about yourself from your birth up to this point. (I then talked for 30 minutes without interruption).
What impressed you positively?
The lectures are videotaped. If there is anything you want to do research on, just ask and it shall be yours. If you get accepted and want to take a second look, call up the school and you can come down to get more information.
What impressed you negatively?
Miami is a cool city, but the traffic is terrible. Driving 30 miles on the interstate took 90 minutes on the morning of my interview. A lot of people couldn't answer simple questions about elective courses and specialty tracks other than research. While students have a lot of Hispanic patients, UM does not offer a course in medical Spanish.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Everything is so expensive. A parking decal costs $600-$700 a year!
