💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why was your research important?
What was the most interesting question?
Was asked about a Tolstoy book I was reading, turned out the fourth year interviewing student had an interest in philosophy.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reread my personal statement, reviewed previous research projects, got online and learned about major programs at and around the school.
What was the most difficult question?
Drilling questions about my undergrad research projects.
What impressed you positively?
Very friendly staff and student body - seemed like everyone was VERY happy to be there. The new Health Science building is AMAZING! and the cadaver labs were very nice compared to other schools.
What impressed you negatively?
The old school of medicine is small and outdated, but students aren't using those facilities much anymore, so I'm not sure.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had known what they were looking for, the University of Utah's program is very diverse and so there is no one 'right applicant.' They try to see who they think would fit in at the school.
