What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I was asked specifically how I became involved in the things I did. As in how did you find out about this or what did you do to get this.

Report Response | I was asked this too

My interviewer asked specific questions about anything he found interesting. From a random class I took in college that I practically forgot about to specific questions about my research.

What did you do in high school besides study?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

I was interviewed by a neuroscientist and I have done research in neurology so I was asked a lot of specific questions about my research. I think Downstate tries to match people with the interviewer so make sure you are very knowledgeable about everything you claim to be knowledgeable about!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What were you like in high school? First question I was asked, wasn't expecting it and totally threw me off. I couldn't even remember what I was like in high school and babbled through the first awkward minutes of the interview.
