💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about your research. Did you like it? (Ironically, the interviewer specialized in a similar topic of my research, so know your research well)
What was the most interesting question?
Why/would you come to UM if you got into every other medical school you applied to?

AMCAS, UM secondary, read a book on healthcare, HMO's, and reviewed my research.
What was the most difficult question?
Ethical question dealing with providing free health care repetitively and how I would deal with it.
What impressed you positively?
The medical center is located in downtown Miami, not in Coral Gables. So there is always something going on, culturally or medically. There are 7 hospitals at Jackson and it is the 2nd busiest medical center in America, so the amount of clinical exposure you will get is second to none.
