💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How are you relieved of stress?

What was the most interesting question?

Many medical students become stressed as a result of the demands of medical school. Who, or what do you turn to in such times of high stress?

What was the most difficult question?

No difficult questions--the interviewer had my AMCAS in front of him, and we went straight through it. He did not ask, "Why did you choose UC?" He did not ask, "Why do you want to be a doctor?" Nothing ethical. Very straight forward--it was all about me.

What impressed you positively?

UC is 17th in the nation as far as funding is concerned, and I was very impressed at how they are making excellent use of this resource. Very nice labs

What impressed you negatively?

From the exterior, the appearance of the school is not overwhelmingly beautiful.

One other thing...If you got a C in a class, be prepared to explain. I didn't get a C in anything, but the interviewer informed me they are supposed to question any student who has one about why it happened.

What are your general comments?

The faculty at UC go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They go so far that after the interview, if you feel it went badly, you are permitted to request a second interview, no questions asked.
