💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Q. Why Detroit/Wayne? A. I was prepared to be in a place like wayne. I have lots of EC activities that involved working in poor areas around the world.
Q. Why didnt you apply to Canada? A. I want to come to America. I strongly believe there is more oppurtunity here. Canada still has a special place in my heart however.
Q. Why MCAT so many times? A. I wasnt ready to answer the verbal component of MCAT. I told her I took Lit Classes to improve and be on the same wavelenght has the test writers. The interviewer was from my native country too...so the interviewer knew excatly what I was talking about.

What was the most interesting question?

Conversational interview. No hard questions. How did I improve on the MCAT so much? I was prepared for this, since, I have taken the MCAT 4 times...I would wonder if I was the interviewer.

What was the most difficult question?

No ethical questions.

Practically no one comes to class.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Detroit is dangerous. The city practically has no night life. Even though I dont think I will be hitting the clubs to often during medical school. The city isnt the best one in America. Also suprised that I could communte from Windsor to Wayne State.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer turned out to be from the small area of my native country, I was from. No way...I have met no one from there in North America (other than my family). Awesome! After that it was easy to talk to the interviewer. We had lots of common interests and we discussed our roots back in our native country.
