What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Faculty interviewer - The standards: Tell me about yourself, What research (and community service) have you done? Why Duke? What initially drew you to medicine? Where do you see yourself in 15 years?

Report Response | I was asked this too

Student interviewer - basically, she had read my app and had prepared a few questions on things that stood out to her. Not challenging, probing questions, but rather, ''I read you did [insert activity], tell me about it'' or ''I thought your essay on [blank] was interesting, could you tell me more about your experience.

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing out of the ordinary. I liked the fact that my student interviewer had actually read my secondary essays and asked me to talk about the experiences that I discussed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What is one of the advantages of being a physician? One disadvantage? I supposed that this was a question to discuss what draws me to medicine and what downsides I've considered, but for some reason, how the question was delivered threw me off.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the admissions guy talked about how humble of an environment duke is, and how faculty are expected to be great teachers. Also, I was already drawn to Duke because of the curriculum, but their discussion of its philosophy impressed me even further.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Faculty interviewer seemed flat, a little disinterested.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Duke doesn't have rolling admissions: obviously one of those things I should have known but didn't. I'm really happy about this because I applied relatively late.
