💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Explain weakness/strengths in 1 to 2 words.
Specifics on Spanish poetry, film, literature of which I've taken one class on each.
When have I been in a situation in which I've been very impressed with what a doctor did or very disturbed by what he/she did?

What was the most interesting question?

The first person who interviewed me clearly had some kind of chip on his shoulder. He basically set out to humiliate and insult me. He asked obscure questions about classes (literature, film...) I had taken years ago. He got frustrated when I couldn't remember specific names of authors and film producers and even raised his voice to me! I'm not sure what recalling names of Spanish poets had to do with becoming a physician, but I do know that he succeded in making my decision easy about NOVA. The other 2 interviewers asked me normal questions (ie. my weaknesses, strengths etc), but it did little to make up for the first guy.

What impressed you positively?

modern facility

What impressed you negatively?

see above, also the students don't really seem that enthused about the school. The school seems to be a good facility, but after my experience I would never consider going there, especially if they allow their student or future-students to be treated so badly by a professor.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'd be interviewed by a crazy man.
