💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

One interviewer went by that ''worksheet'' with the standard ''how do you deal with stress'' and ''what are your strengths and weaknesses'' kind of thing. Advice: turn it into a convo.
You applied to a large number of schools. Why should we believe you actually want us?
Your grades and test scores are low for someone with your accomplishments. Why is that?

What impressed you positively?

The facillities and monetary resources are just incredible. The scope of the medical center floored me, and it was way way nice than other places I interviewed! They struck a good note between being a supportive program with laid back, happy students and being a resource-rich high-quality top-notch institution. Also: excellent living facilities for students, incredible rec center, support mechanisms for spouses, community-feeling.

What impressed you negatively?

I hate Houston. I just hate it. It's in as nice an area of Houston as I think it gets, but its still sprawlsville. But I could come up with nothing negative about the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there's this 80ish old-school-medical-establishment type who I think just likes for mess with with his (female?) interviewees. I think he's just amusing himself and seeing how you handle it, but I got the most inappropriate questions! it wound up being a great, engaging conversation, if somewhat of a debate, but if I hadn't had a sense of humor... I can't believe this man hasn't gotten sued.

What are your general comments?

Lively, engaging, not informal but not stressful: I left thinking that I hate Houston, but if they accepted me, I don't think i could turn them down (Short of getting into Yale or something that far-fetched).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
