💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

'Fashionable Medicine,' is becoming an increasingly popular option for physicians, especially in Florida. What this is, is that for a flat fee (say $5000) a physician agrees to be available to a patient and to treat them whenever needed. How do you feel about this and what are the consequences of this practice?
In Iraq, army doctors are being ordered to assist, using their medical knowledge, in torturing prisoners in norder to get much needed information. What are your feelings on this and what would you do in this situation?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I had a mock interview at my school and looked at Northwestern's web site.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The students who I spoke with were enthusiastic about the school, and the faculty and staff were friendly. There was a mock problem based learning session that gave me a better feel for how the students are taught. Also, the facilitiest were amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

The price of living downtown is high.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The panel interview (3 interviewers and 3 students) was the least stressful, most fun interview I have had yet. I was in the second time slot for the interview and it was really nice to be able to get to know the other two people that would be interviewing with me ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

The interview day as a whole was wonderful. The interviews were not stressful at all, the students could not say enough about their experience at the school, and the mock problem based learning session was interesting as well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
