💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Mostly tons of questions about my background from my file (which both interviewers knew VERY well).
What was the most interesting question?
Have you had to deal with patients' families who were difficult? What about patients that are difficult? What is dealing with patients from different religious backgrounds like?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Had one interview prior to this, I skimmed my secondary and AMCAS, I grilled as many Loyola people as I could (M1, M2, residents, alums), scoured their website, read alumni bulletins, looked over some medical ethics stuff (although I was the one who brought this stuff up, not the interviewers).
What was the most difficult question?
Is there anything you want to tell me about yourself? (After we had already spent so much time talking together, it was hard to think of anything else to divulge.)
What impressed you positively?
EVERYTHING! The school is great, the faculty is great, and the people are great! ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!!!!
What impressed you negatively?
The parking! My only complaint is that is was hard to find the entrance to the parking garage.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would be walking outside from building to building - I would have brought my umbrella in my purse instead of leaving it in the admissions office!
