💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about your academic accomplishments.
What other schools have you applied to, if you can tell me that.
What's the most difficult or mature (or something like that) thing you've done in your life?

What was the most interesting question?

I have an older female arthritis patient who was taking care of her elderly mother at home and finally decided to put the mother in a nursing home. Later she came to me and said the pain she was experiencing was God punishing her for putting her mother in the nursing home? It relates to Christianity, which is something I emphasized in my application, and therefore seemed designed especially for me, so I don't think this question would be asked to everyone. It was a very hard and unexpected question that I wish I could have thought about ahead of time instead of off the top of my head on the spot like that.

What was the most difficult question?

What's the hardest thing you've ever had to tell someone?

What impressed you negatively?

The surrounding area was scary and felt unsafe. I drove around Cincinnati and the for a good hour after I arrived just to see what it was like, and except for the actual downtown area, it seemed to be all unsafe and scary.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Every interview was held in a different building in the interviewing MD's personal office. It rained while I was there, and that was unexpected, so be prepared! Parking is ridiculously expensive in the Eden Garage, don't go in there unless you absolutely have to.

They did a wonderful job giving turn by turn directions for arriving at the Dean's office where the presentations were held.
