💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about research activities.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, Medical Ethics, AMCAS, Website
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about research. It's closed file, so the interviewer did not know that I had worked in 8 different labs...so almost the whole time was spent recapping what could have been read ahead of time. But that is just the format they choose for the interviews.
What impressed you positively?
Very nice interviewer, interesting physician and very excited about the school. I like the old, remote feeling to the campus, yet close enough to NYC.
What impressed you negatively?
The Wellesley Inn is very very close but not so nice. But for the price...
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
no ethics questions at all! Didn't even ask why I want to be a doctor
