💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

If a student was accepted into medical school and then it was discovered that he/she contracted a fatal disease and only had one week to live. Should they be allowed to attend medical school? What would you do if you had the power over this decision?
If you could only pursue one profession, would you be a physician or a researcher?
What are your thoughts on the fact that senior citizens take up more than 70% of the monies available for drugs in Canada? What can we do to alleviate this?

What was the most interesting question?

Who do you think is/was the greatest canadian out of "X or Y"?

What was the most difficult question?

"Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?" Some people love this question. I think it's a good question to take and make you own. But I think I sort of messed it up. I didn't know what to say, what not to say....I was all over the place. So this question seemed confusing to me as to what I should or should not go into.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews with current first year medical students, mock interviews with doctors, and friends. Reviewed questions found in previous years, researched background of school and why it's good for me, outlined my own skills and also read over my own personal statement essay

What impressed you positively?

How relaxed the interview was. The group leader of the 3 panel interview was VERY nice. He came out and talked to me for a couple minutes and asked where I lived and just some general information. Really calmed me down

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the faculty of medicine. It's right next to the hospital, so it makes sense that they located the faculty there. But the location is so dirty. I'd be worried parking my car or locking up my bike. Scary/dangerous at night. Fine in the daytime due to the amount of people around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

Really calm and relaxing. I felt calm, so I wasn't nervous and was able to answer comfertably. I really liked that.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
