What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What is one quality that you have received from your mother and one from your father.

You said that you were an only child... Are you spoiled?

What was the most interesting question?

Give me a brief overview of your life. Tell me about your pre- high school years.

What was the most difficult question?

How would you make sure a patient understood their diagnosis. I answered and he said what if they still didn't understand. I answered again and he said what if they still didn't understand again. This went back and forth until I ran out of ideas. I found out that he was wanting me to include that I would make the patient repeat back to me what I was saying which personally I don't think I would ever do... but that's what he wanted.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, questions from the internet, talking with other applicants, and some good soul searching

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very welcoming and it was not an uptight situation at all. The new hospital is almost finished too.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guide couldn't answer a lot of our questions because she was a M4 and the curriculum and rules have changed alot since she was a M1.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That one of my interviwers has a somber personality and rarely shows any emotion on his face. I thought he just didn't like me until I talked with those that know him well!!

What are your general comments?

The entire process was so much easier than I expected. They really just want to get to know you and get a feel of what your personality is. They won't ask you the weird ball and glove questions and they don't care about how much you know about genetic engineering or HMOs. My best advice is to MAKE SURE YOU THINK OF GOOD QUESTIONS TO ASK THEM!!!!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
