What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Opening question: Why do you want to be a doctor?
What unique things do doctors have to deal with that other professions that work with people do not?

What was the most interesting question?

How would you compare the healthcare system overseas with healthcare in America? (I grew up overseas partly)

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Overprepared. Watched the news, researched ethical issues and policies, read books about reforming healthcare in America, did mock interviews with professors, career counselor (highly recommend), and friends. Looked at SDN and practiced responses.

What impressed you positively?

Relaxed atmosphere. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Everyone went out of their way to ease your nervousness.

What impressed you negatively?

Modules and building look a bit old. But they're renovating.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Turn on Eversett not Lotti to get to the conference lot. The map is vague.

What are your general comments?

They divide you into 3 groups. 9, 10, and 11 o'clock interviews. They serve you donuts and juice from 8:30 to 9am. After that you go on tours until your interview. There is no reason to be nervous. They just want to get to know you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
