💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I only understand about every tenth word of Shakespeare, but I love watching it, what do you think about that? Do you understand more, you have more experience with it than I do...
Talk about your life from grammar school on, we'll go from there.
You took this class, what did you learn in it, what did you think of it?

What was the most interesting question?

The interviewer asked about a specific class I took in college that had nothing to do with medicine, medical school, or anything I would have expected. He wanted to know what I had thought of the class, what I had learned, etc.

What was the most difficult question?

Same as above, since I really didn't find that particular class to be incredibly engaging.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, my application, talking to Alumni and current students I knew

What impressed you positively?

The location is gorgeous, and the medical school's physical plant is really modern.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guides seemed to think that there was an animosity between the med students and the undergrads. I don't think this is anything that would bother me, plus I liked that they said this because it indicated that they were being very truthful with us, which is obviously a good thing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not too much. I had some questions about the clinical years that the tour guides answered.

What are your general comments?

The interviewer spent a significant amount of time talking about himself. It was a little frustrating because I thought the interview was about me talking, but afterwards, thinking about it, I realized that it was probably done on purpose. Being a doctor is about having the right answers, but it's also about being able to listen to patients, and I am almost positive that he talked so much because he was testing my ability to listen. Hopefully I remained engaged enough.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
