💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
All of the questions were specific to my application...
What was the most interesting question?
What did you think when the doctor you were shadowing told a mother what her child had told him?
How did you prepare for the interview?
looked through my secondary (very important for this one, glad I did) and read this site
What was the most difficult question?
None-- they were all related to my application, and it was casual-- more of a conversation
What impressed you positively?
the students, the new children's hospital, the new gym
What impressed you negatively?
there isn't much to do around hyde park and even though there is public transportation in chicago, the el doesn't stop near the school, so you need a car.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
how friendly the students were-- I expected it to be like U of C undergrad (I have friends who go there) which is very dog-eat-dog, and it was very laid back. Also, while I knew this, the third year is graded, so it's a bit more stressful according to students.
