✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my autobiographical statement, read the newspapers; introspection.

What impressed you positively?

The relaxed atmosphere and the desire to keep the interviews unstressful; the other students were supportive of the applicants; the desire of the McGill staff to tell us some of the good things about McGill, including the focus on clinical skills and the international make up of the class.

What impressed you negatively?

McGill has too many students for its limited class space; small group sizes are large (15+); there are lots of younger students because of the MedP program.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall, very positive experience. The interviewers just want to get to know you, get a sense of who you are, where you come from and why you are interested in medicine. It was much more conversational than at other schools because the interviewers weren't taking notes, and most questions were based on my previous responses. McGill would be a wonderful place to be.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
