💬 Interview Questions

All questions related to my file. (Other than the obvious "why medicine?" questions.) It was less like an interview and more like they were just trying to get to know me. VERY low stress.

What was the most interesting question?

I want to work in an underserved area. My interviewer asked my how, being a good student, I will deal with being (relatively) underpaid to some people with less altruistic motivations.

What was the most difficult question?

none were too difficult.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my AMCAS, SDN

What impressed you positively?

Loved the PBL curriculum (I got to sit in on a session and it was amazing!), everyone was friendly, enthusiastic, and personable

What impressed you negatively?

out-of-state tuition...ouch There also happened to be a murder in Columbia right before my interview day, police were around asking questions (I was told this is pretty unusual for Columbia.)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I could sit in on a class, that I could walk to the bookstore and food court area before my tour and interview.

What are your general comments?

I loved this school. I was really expecting not to like it after reading the comments on this site, but I loved everything about it (except the non-res tuition). PBL seems great, the students, faculty, and staff were all amazing, and I felt more comfortable than I have at any other interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
