What are your general comments?
Overall it wasn't as hectic as I thought id'be. I had just had U of A's med school interview two days prior so I knew what to expect more or less. I was called in early for my interview surprisingly (2:40 vs 3:00). I felt depressed after my interview - maybe because I felt I could have done better, but you really don't know since you're adrenaline is high enough anyway.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Explain an organic chemistry reaction in lay person's terms.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Introspection, reviewed my application, practiced maintaining a professional demeanor.
What was the most difficult question?
What qualities do you expect to see in a good physician? How have you demonstrated these qualities?
What impressed you positively?
The med students were eager to calm us down - and they did a good job of that too.
What impressed you negatively?
None of the interviewers knew anything of the faculty/curriculum so I couldn't really ask them any questions...Also one of them was wearing track pants and a T-shirt...not really professional. I also felt the interview (since every applicant was asked the same question) didn't do much to allow me to express myself...everything seemed too practiced...
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I went to UBC for undergrad (and now will be going back for med)...so no real 'surprises' arose.
