⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
No, I wasn't asked to open any windows. When Harvard says they don't conduct stressful interviews, they mean that the interviews are not in a class by themselves -- they resembled basic med school interviews, with an average stress level. All the facilities there are nice. Not having a big home base hospital has positives and negatives. My hosting experience was great.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to go into medicine?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked over web page, viewbook
What impressed you positively?
The way technology is integrated into the learning process. Every student has a personal page with all the info for his or her classes -- notes, diagrams, etc -- and videos of the lectures are on the web. This also goes into the labs and the tutorial classrooms.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing was really obviously unimpressive, but I realized that maybe PBL isn't for me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That my second interview would be at Mass General (at 4:00) -- a shuttle ride away, and on a different T line.
