How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

1 out of 10

What are your general comments?

Robert Wood Johnson was great, I really loved it, and I got accepted. My only problem is that I have to go back to revisit the school because I did not get to see it during my interview day. I only have my experience with my interviewer, a tour of the hospital, and a slide show to compare with other schools.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

If I had one day to do anything I wanted, what would I do?

What was the most interesting question?

What I would do if I heard a fellow student telling a patient that birth control will give them brain cancer? The student's religion forbids contraception.

How did you prepare for the interview?

School Webpage, read over AMCAS application, Student Doctor Network Interviews

What was the most difficult question?

None

What impressed you positively?

The school is on the rise, my interviewer was great, the hospital was really impressive. The choice of Camden or New Brunswick gives you the flexibility to try new things. Also, if you change your mind later, everyone usually gets a switch to what they want.

What impressed you negatively?

My tour guide kept saying "this is a good school, but it's not the Ivy League."

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you interview on Friday, you only get to see the hospital, not the school.
