What are your general comments?
The interview was great and well-organized. We watched a short video, and then all of the interviewers were brought into the room and introduced to us. This was much more impressive than what I've seen at other schools, where interviewees are told to wait somewhere while interviewers may or may not show up several minutes late. The students seemed very close and enthusiastic and I love that the school is literally within the hospital. The best part was finding out I was accepted less than a week following my interview.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
I was shown an article stating 40% of doctors would chose a new field if they could, and asked ''How have you made sure that you won't be one of them?''
What was the most interesting question?
You seem to be very enthusiastic about becoming a doctor, which is great, but how do you plan on holding onto that optimism if you find yourself surrounded by pessimistic classmates/professors/doctors?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read this site, read over my secondary application again.
What was the most difficult question?
Do you know how much it costs for a self-employeed person to provide family insurance coverage for a year? (I had no idea, but he said it was $8,000).
What impressed you positively?
The interview is organized so well. The intenerary (sp?) they email is followed much more precisely than at most other schools.
What impressed you negatively?
The school itself is older, but the new health sciences learning center will be under construction soon.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I go to UK for undergrad so nothing really suprised me.
