💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How about this scenario: you're a pediatric oncologist and you have to treat patients when you know half of them will die no matter what?
What do you like to do for fun?
What would you do if you didn't get into medical school?

What was the most interesting question?

So what does your email address mean?

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing specifically - just trying to graciously handle my second interviewer's bitter and blatant attempts to deter me from medical school, which isn't really hard if you have thick skin. I think I pulled it off. He stopped being mean and walked me to my next stop.
