💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

If I had a blank check how would I spend it to prevent this case where a woman with lump is told by here PCP to go to the secretary to make an appointment with radiology but the secretary tells her she can't get through to radiology and to call later. The woman goes home and never calls back and ends up coming back 6 months later with metastatic cancer. Whose fault is it? And how could you prevent it from ever happening again?

The way one of the interviews was conducted

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Realized that when SDN said three interviewers one on one that it meant three back to back interviews

What are your general comments?

One interview was stressful because I was asked about things I did not know the answer to mostly non-medically related and very very loosely based on my application. There is a student interview that is open file and more relacxed. And the assistant dean takes the time to interview also, which is good.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
