💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Explain your low gpa, do you think you can handle med school work, what about your weakness in math? (I got grilled!)
What would I do if I had a patient who was 13yrs. old and pregnant. What would I do if I had a patient who was elderly and had cancer and refused chemo?
You talked about the importance of healing and touch in your essays, that sounds like nurse's work. Are you sure you don't want to be a nurse? (this was said very provocatively, but in hindsight I think she was just trying to see how I'd react)

What was the most interesting question?

What did I think of Dr. Kevorkian, and of him going on television? (I really know nothing about Kevorkian besides that he did assisted suicides, and had no idea about the tv question so I had to ask the interviewer for more info. All in all I think I was able to craft a good response about assisted suicide).

What was the most difficult question?

Explain how you connect to being latina? (it was phrased VERY weirdly, I was unsure what she meant but I talked about everything I do that involves the Hispanic community)

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, my amcas app

What impressed you positively?

anatomy labs, cheap nice housing across the street, enthusiasm of the students, 1st yrs lecture hall, student diversity and support for minority students.

What impressed you negatively?

location (safe, but didn't click with me), library and computer lab was pretty sad...all of the offices seemed very small and old - honestly I felt kind of claustrophobic there, couldn't really explain it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

my interviewer gave me a ton of hard questions! I didn't really prepare much for it since all the sdn feedback said it was chill.

What are your general comments?

My interview experience was decent, the school's a great school but it's not for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
