💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Give me a basic design of the kind of thesis you envision yourself doing...
What was the most interesting question?
What will you do if, after all of this, doing research is just not in the cards - what will you do if you get an MD-only acceptance?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mellowed out and went a day early to catch the weather - printed out some bios of the research faculty I asked for, but basically just made sure I was in a good mood.
What was the most difficult question?
No matter who or how nice you are, someone, somewhere, doesn't like you. Can you think of what reason they might have for not liking you?
What impressed you positively?
The research faculty and labs are TOP NOTCH for neuroscience, esp paralysis work (Miami Project). The campus is beautiful, the hospital awesome, and the student's attitude as you would expect in a beach town.
