💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

see above - no real questions per se.

What was the most interesting question?

i wasn't really asked any questions at all. the interview was more him introducing himself, me introducing myself, and then speaking about how i ended up wanting to study medicine. it was more a narrative conversation with him interrupting with small clarifications. very informal, very comfortable, very relaxed. he overtly told me he didn't want to be scary or intimidating.

there is no med student housing &quot;on campus.&quot; that said, the students didn't really seem to mind, said the commute (in general at most 15 minutes) wasn't a problem and housing options were nice in the surrounding areas.
