💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why this bad grade?

What was the most interesting question?

None. I was asked the typical run-of-the-mill med school interview questions.

What was the most difficult question?

Very detailed questions about my research. I wasn't prepared to go that in-depth.

What type of interview was it?

Open file

Where did the interview take place?

At the school

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school on the internet, talked with friends who are current students, and reviewed mock interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The zillions of local hospitals.

What impressed you negatively?

The older buildings.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The curriculum is integrative, meaning they have designed the courses to overlap (ie. while you're taking neuro you will be dissecting the cadaver's brain).

What are your general comments?

The information sessions and tours were awesome. However, I was not impressed that my interviewer let a fellow colleague sit in on our conversation (as if I wasn't nervous enough already). Also, our interview was shorter than it was supposed to be and I felt pressured to stop asking questions of my interviewers about the school.
