💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about yourself? What was your experience at USC? How was your experience in th US as an immigrant?
What was the most interesting question?
She asked me that why would I go to medical school, since I have a very career as Director of R & D for major cancer center in the US? My answer was simple; I want to reach to my full potential and be able to become a neurosurgeon.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read this website and talk to my colleagues.
What was the most difficult question?
Why was your MCAT Experience? (Obviously I did not do well and did not think that MCAT represents my capabilities in science, since I have more than 20 publications and near 800K in NIH and private grant funding as well as 3 patents)
What impressed you positively?
Level of interest they expressed in who I am, what I have done, what do I want to do with my life and why do I want to become a physician/neurosurgeon.
What impressed you negatively?
They did not give me any indication that they are interested in my admission; Although I admit that my interview took near 85-90 minutes.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I had studied about this institution ahead (I have done that with my US interviews too); however, I discounted Caribbean Medical schools like Ross and I was wrong. There is truly no difference and no one cares where you get your MD from as long as you show competency in treating patients.
