💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Have you considered other career options? Why didn't you choose them? Describe why you want to be a physician?
What was the most interesting question?
Well, if you find yourself interesting, the interview will be a breeze. It's a casual conversation about you and why you've chosen the profession.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read over my AMCAS file and my Loyola secondary application. I looked at myself in the mirror and told myself I looked like I'd make a fabulous doctor.
What was the most difficult question?
The interviews are completely low stress, so I didn't find any of the questions that difficult. However, if you're not well versed in medical ethics, I suggest that you read up on some recent issues. They are well known for asking ethics questions.
What impressed you positively?
I am interested in the International Student Immersion trips between MS I and MS II. I like that they have the class broken up into three smaller groups to help first and second years mingle. The gym is fantastic and connected to the school by a tunnel so you don't have to go outside during the winter). Everyone is very friendly. I intent to persue a master's in medical ethics - they have a program which provides a scholarship to MD/MA students.
What impressed you negatively?
The school is not readily accessible by public transportation.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Classes in the first two years generally end by noon. Small group sessions extend into the afternoon, but only a few times a week.
