What are your general comments?
I had a PhD interview me, which threw me off at first, but he was very nice and asked hard questions but in the context of our conversation. He was not out to get me, but just see my thoughts related to certain hot topics that I had experienced for myself.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about yourself. Something that is NOT on the applications.
What was the most interesting question?
In an affluent country like the United States, why is health care still so hard for people to access?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read my AMCAS app, read my Miami Applications, and read up on HMOs and PPOs
What was the most difficult question?
How do you fix healthcare/HMOs in this country?
What impressed you positively?
The students with their enthusiasm for the school, facilities, and Miami as a great city. The Academic Societies sounded great, as a great support group for not only academic help but also fun and recreation. I also really liked the Community service Health Fairs that allow the students to travel to underserved areas and act as the primary physician for many poor residents that normally would not receive any care at all.
What impressed you negatively?
The Gym, it was dark and tiny with what seemed like little Cardio equipment, BUT they are building a huge new facility at the top of a new building for a huge Gym and swimming pool. It should be gorgeous and ready in this coming year.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
SDN prepared me very well for what to expect. Just know that you are going to sweat on the tour, unless your interview is in December or on, Florida's best months!
