After showing up late and first interviewer being unavailable, the day went great. I enjoyed talking with my two interviewers and I never felt uncomfortable. The questions didn't deviate from application. No crazy cancer, current event or technical questions.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about this activitiy....
What was the most interesting question?
nothing out of the ordinary. Topics didn't go beyond my college activities
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read over apps, just relaxed. Made sure I had a reason for any low scores.
What was the most difficult question?
Can you think of one time that you were misinterpreted or felt like you were treated unfairly? I couldn't think of an answer... (guess that's good!)
What impressed you positively?
Friendly & helpful students, match lists, surrounding hospitals, financial aid presentation, free lunch, admissions office was inviting (and I was even late!!)
What impressed you negatively?
Cost is way up there. Financial aid meeting helped show how school is paid for, but its still going to cost about 1/4 of your paycheck for the first 10 years of work unless you land a great residency.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Chicago Traffic!! Literally took me 1 hour 30 minutes to go about 15 miles. Plan to be there well in advance. Also make sure you have an alternate route in case highways are locked up.
