💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
How would you keep from getting burnt out as a physician?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, school's website, current students, looked over my AMCAS, reread my Loyola secondary.
What was the most difficult question?
Nothing was all that difficult. Some ethical questions. They mentioned that they aren't interested in what you say, as long as you can give your rationale for your position and can also acknowledge the other side of the issue.
What impressed you positively?
Everything. Admissions staff was really friendly, the facilities are top notch. The hospital is great and is still expanding. Everyone seemed to know everyone, and it was a very tight-knit community.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing, except that the day was somewhat disorganized, but this was only because of a horrible storm that occurred the night before. The first and 2nd years were also on their fall break, so I didn't get to experience as much of the community as I could have.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Get there a bit early. My first interview was supposed to be at 8:00am, but the admissions staff was late, so they had to reschedule it.
