💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

No responses

What was the most interesting question?

I was asked about what I do to keep balanced. They noticed that I usually had taken a pilates or yoga class and said that it was important to exercise and remember to take care of myself. I thought that this was a great sign that each student is seen as an individual with unique needs to balance.

What was the most difficult question?

By the time I got to the interview I felt that they already knew I was accepted. The questions were very standard. I was well prepared by the interview I received from the pre-medical committee at the University of Hartford for the interview experience at NECO.
