💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

I'm under some sort of gag-order. In any case, the questions were interesting, albeit better suited to applicants to the Nicollo Machiavelli School of Public Policy.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I did not prepare. Preparation, though, really consists of tailoring your past experiences to your future merits as a physician.

What impressed you positively?

Nice People.

What impressed you negatively?

Awful campus. It's a licensing body, not a school (curriculum review made that clear). A clean-cut all-American/Canadian lad/gal of the traditional stream of neurotic premeds (such as I) will not fit in there.
