What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why medicine? Then the interviewer told me that he normally doesn't ask this question, but I deserved it b/c I had started out in the astrophysics major. Fun stuff.

What was the most interesting question?

No responses

What was the most difficult question?

tell me about XXXXX disease (i had written a paper on it 2 years ago). so i start telling him what i found in the literature back then, and he interrupts and negates every thing i found that was published. then tells me that he is the world's foremost expert on this disease. i replied that maybe i should be asking him these questions then, not the other way around. just seemed like he wanted to trap/make others feel inadequate.

What are your general comments?

Two interviewers could not be more opposite. First: amazing. excited to meet me. awesome conversation and very positive experience. Second: whoa. negative. seemed annoyed that he was interviewing at all. interrupted every statement i made within the first sentence. can't believe he's an interviewer. but still very interesting. candid about his thoughts re: OHSU and everything else i asked him. extremely candid. pretty funny, actually.
