💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me a little more about two of your volunteering experiences.
What was the most interesting question?
How do people try to discourage you from medicine and what effect does this have upon you?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I asked family if there had been anything medically related in the news lately, read SDN, school's web page, AMCAS, and Loyola's secondary.
What was the most difficult question?
Why not choose another profession requiring less work if you're not interested in money and prestige?
What impressed you positively?
The friendly feeling of the atmosphere. I honestly wanted to be at a family party or somewhere else with one of my interviewers he was so nice and funny!
What impressed you negatively?
The second interviewer wouldn't drop the fact that I had come about four minutes late because the first interview had run long and because another doctor, actually the chair of admissions, had stopped me to talk to me about some things! So when I got there he went ahead and made a phone call that did not seem too important, but once things got started he seemed to start to like me until we finished and he again recalled that I had arrived late-grr.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Don't bother printing off your AMCAS like something says, they have it there for you!
