💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Just the usual...tell me about yourself, what do you do in your freetime, tell me about your research, how many times did you take the MCAT, when did you first become interested in medicine, do you work during the school year, what about leadership positions and extracurr. activities...
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, other websites with suggested interview questions, talked with others who had interviewed there before, came up with several questions to ask them...the interviewer did ask if I had any questions about the school earlier in the interviewer
What was the most difficult question?
One interviewer asked me point blank if I thought the relief effort for Hurriane Katrina would have been faster if it would have hurt more whites than blacks and why.
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was so laid back and the interviews were conversational. In one interview I ended talking to my interviewer about the time she visited the town in which my school is located...about how she had visited the local pharmacy that still has a counter and she ordered a fudge sundae...she was incredibly laid back and the interview was not stressful. She made me very relaxed!
What impressed you negatively?
I really had a great interview experience. There is a lot of walking for the tour after lunch, so either wear comfortable shoes or be prepared for blisters.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I didn't realize that both interviewers would ask about finances. They asked how much debt I had from undergrad, how I planned to pay for med school, and much in loans I planned to take out. I think I answered them ok, but I would have felt more comfortable if I had a number in my mind about the total amount of loans I would take out. I had to think about this question.
