Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

what would you tell to people who say that 17-18 year-old students are too young and not mature enough to enter the medicine program and that older students (that have completed a baccalaureat for example) should be privileged?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

in medicine, we often have to work with patients or collegues with whom we have disagreements. have you ever had any experience of that sort, where you had to work with someone who didn't share your way of working or your opinion?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

visited many websites like this one, asked myself why i wanted to become a doctor, prepared to talk about what i wrote in my autobiographical letter (that's what they base themselves on during the interview)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the anatomy laboratory and museum was very impressive. we had the occasion of observing some corpses, which was really interesting. the campus is gorgeous. oh and the food they gave us (breakfast and lunch) was good =)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the presentation of the program was kind of boring and monotone. the director/teacher (i didn't really pay attention...) was not interesting to listen to and it was too long. i wasn't even listening (i was eating....)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

both interviewers mostly asked questions to clarify the information that i had put in my autobiographical letter (so be sure to re-read it before the interview). but there were also questions that weren't related to the letter. the interviewers were nice and sympathetic overall. the interviews are supposed to last 30 mins, but mine only lasted 20 mins each. the interviews went well in general.
