Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

You are the general at a military base. One of your military prisoners, a suspected terrorist, has gone on a hunger strike and hasn't had anything to eat or drink in 6 days. The prisoner has been examined and declared psychologically sound. The medical officer comes to you and asks what action should be taken, as the situation will become critical in the next few days. (an ethical question, but posed in the military context, my interviewer seemed more concerned with the political aspects.)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone I have interacted with at MCW is just so nice! Mike Istwan is a great guy. The facilities are ''top-notch.'' Even though it was the week before exams, students were still very friendly. The campus is attached to hospital complex, which is nice.

What are your general comments?

Interviews are very laid back and don't start until 12:30, which is nice if you are traveling the day before. The interview with the student is a good opportunity to ask questions of them and much much more relaxed. The day is very well organized and the anticipated turn around time is greatly appreciated.
