No responses

What was the most interesting question?

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? If a patient needed a test, but he was unable to pay for it and his insurance company would not cover the cost of the test, what would you do?

What was the most difficult question?

There were no difficult questions, well, except for one: What if you do not get in this year? What do you do? This was difficult because my only option was to committ suicide, just kidding, but I had never thought about that.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN feedbacks, studied the schools website, MISSION STATEMENT, and i picked up a lot from the students on the tour. Basically i repeated everything the students said to us during the tour!

What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING, the area, the people, the students, the staff, and that million dollar dummy.

What impressed you negatively?

NOTHING, everything was great, the hotel service, the malls, the secretaries, but the food at the hospital cafeteria was not good at all, but i can cook so that wont be a problem.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really, its better not to be too well prepared and for things to happen as they will.

What are your general comments?

I interview with this one person, a biochemist at a nearby community college, and he was great. He and I were involved in a conservation, and I never felt the interview was one sided at all. My next interviewer was a resident, Dr. Buckner, and i was not sure about that interview. He said he had a cold and kept the interview short, and also since he was young, I did not keep a professional act. But it turned out well since i got in the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
