💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Where are you from? (We ended up discussing this for a while b/c it turned out my interviewer was from the same place.)
What was the most interesting question?
What kind of shortcoming would you most wish to avoid?
How did you prepare for the interview?
This website, review of my AMCAS materials, and review of previews interview materials.
What was the most difficult question?
Being from a non pre med background your file seems to indicate you would be better prepared for work outside of medicine wouldn't you agree?
What impressed you positively?
As the only med school in Detroit students have access to all of the city's hospitals. This allows Wayne State to provide climical hands on patient experience very early on in the program (most programs there is no clinical experience until the 3rd or 4th year.) Also it appears Wayne is very well respected close 100% of students get there 1st or 2nd choice in placement through the matching program.
What impressed you negatively?
Ohhhh Detroit! It is an economically severely depressed region. This has an effect on everything from crime to nightlife to non-insured patients to well you do the math.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Downtown Detroit isn't the best place to stay. Maybe it has had a renewal in prep for the Super Bowl but when I interviewed most people said to stay away from that area and yet that is where my hotel was!
