⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The interview was VERY laid back and ended up being like more of a conversation than a firing back and forth of questions and answers. I had a great time here and am seriously considering this school as a potential possibility. The children's hospital is great, so if you are considering Peds, this would be a great place to go. Dont stress... the interview was not stressful at all!
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Explain any red flags in your app (any grades below B)

What was the most interesting question?

I was not specifically asked a question about it, but I had a pretty cool discussion about gene therapy.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website, looked over my apps, I actually had the school's info session before my interview in the afternoon so I learned a lot of good info about UC from that

What was the most difficult question?

Why medicine and not research?

What impressed you positively?

My interviewer was a pathologist in the childrens hospital, so he gave me a tour of his lab. It was pretty impressive!

What impressed you negatively?

A lot of the school was under construction, so we did not get to see the library. Also, the facilities seemed a little old.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school has a pretty shady area around it which I might not feel 100% comfortable living around. But the students said that it was not that bad, although it takes a bit getting used to. Also, the school tries hard to make the buildings secure (ie card access) and as safe as possible.
