💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Do you really think you can change the world?
Hmm...I can't really remember. It was really laid back. They asked me questions from my application and a few others that are your typical med-school interview questions. No ethical questions. Nothing difficult.
Why do you want to be a physician?

What was the most interesting question?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my application, practiced interview questions posted on SDN, looked at their website.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is so friendly. The students seem to really LOVE their school, and there are so many opportunities to speak candidly to students.

What impressed you negatively?

The size. It's a huge class, which I'm not used to being from a small school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview was the deciding factor in whether or not I got in. The admissions director made it very clear that he was ready to accept every one of us applicants interviewing that day (like 50) based on our applications. The final step was the interview. His intention was to help us relax and enjoy our visit since we weren't in competition with the other students there...

What are your general comments?

Wonderful. I wasn't seriously considering MCW until I interviewed there. The building is beautiful, the students love it there, and everyone I met was incredibly friendly. Plus, I got my acceptance letter in the mail 10 days later!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
