💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
My first interview asked me specific questions about my major, my family, and even specific things I had written in my personal statement. I don't think the second interviewer had even looked at my file, because not once did he look at my personal statement during the interview, and all he asked me were very general questions, like "summarize yourself in just a few minutes" or "tell me why you like San Antonio." He even asked me if I spoke Spanish (there are a lot of Mexicans in San Antonio, and they make up a big percentage of the patients that you will see in your clinical years.)
What was the most interesting question?
None. They were mostly questions about school (since it was closed file, they do not know your GPA or your MCAT when they interview you), family, and aspirations.
