What are your general comments?
I had mentioned a potential interest in Colorado's exposure to rural medicine (I never said that I definitely wanted to practice rural medicine). The interviewer basically said that a lot of people BS that rural medicine angle, then pressed me really hard to see if I was lying. I'm sure I answered his questions fine, but it was just awkward and left a bad taste in my mouth.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Nothing unusual, except a detailed explanation of the type of rural town that I would like to live and practice in.
What was the most interesting question?
What size of town do you envision yourself practicing in?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN
What impressed you positively?
Colorado has tremendous access to the outdoors. The facilities are top notch.
What impressed you negatively?
The students seemed one-dimensional...this is not your place if diversity is important. Also, the admissions guy that spoke to us before and in between our interviews was easily the biggest idiot that I have encountered on my interviews. He reminded me of David Brent from "The Office." A complete moron that was made a terrible first impression.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That only 15% of the class is out of state. I knew this, and how it would impact my chances. But I did not think how it would effect the class composition.
