If a 16-year old of sound mind comes into the emergency room and needs a blood transfusion. He is a Jehovah's Witness and his parents say no blood. What would you do? (The difference between this and the typical question is that he is of sound mind, so would you ask him? And would the legal authority or his personal authority as a patient prevail?)

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application, read through studentdoctor.net, and listened to NPR clips.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty members were part of the doctors who interviewed. They seemed very pleasant.

What impressed you negatively?

They did a good job.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They said that all EDP applicants must have a good GPA and MCAT scores or they would not have been invited to the interview. If I had known that, I wouldn't have been fretting about justifying the dip in my GPA.

What are your general comments?

There was a 30-minute open file one-on-one interview followed by a 30-minute closed file two-person interview. It was really low stress. The interviers were not given a prescribed set of questions, so they were just trying to get to know us better so that they could fill out an evaluation sheet.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
