💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Where do I see myself in 10 years? Most (95%) of the questions related to what I put on my application; this interview was more like a conversation than an interview- extremely enjoyable!
What was the most interesting question?
If you could only pick one of the following issues to address, which would it be: prescription drugs for senior citizens, HIV drugs for countries that cannot afford them, or the cost of luxury drugs?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Tried to keep up with current events on cnn.com/health and browsed the school website.
What was the most difficult question?
How many Americans are currently living without health insurance? (This from the guy who told me that he was going to be my easiest interviewer! Needless to say, he was far from it.)
What impressed you positively?
Everyone associated with the school seemed great; they really make me feel welcome and comfortable.
What impressed you negatively?
That I only got to talk to two current students, and they were fourth years. Interviewees had very little contact with current students- which struck me as odd.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing.
