💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

According to the doctors you shadowed, what is the difference between MDs and DOs? (I thought this was worded strangely - do they want to know what I think, or what the Drs thought?)
Are you passive?
If I(interviewer) was an anxious person and you had to call me in to do some medical tests because there was a possibility that I might have a serious disease, how would you approach me?

What was the most interesting question?

If you were president of the United States, how would you fix healthcare?

What was the most difficult question?

The president question. I just picked a stance that I heard on C-span the night before and went with it. I don't think they want someone who will be wishy washy on the issue.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my resume that I sent to the school, practiced interview questions with my dad.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is very modern and friendly. The students' high pass rates on all exams was impressive, as was their residency placement.

What impressed you negatively?

The short interview. I felt like they didn't really want to spend a lot of time on me individually.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How brief the interview was. I think I would have been more assertive in expressing my personality and desires. I also would have prepared some more important questions for them.

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was brief, but the contact I had with the campus, students, and faculty members was all positive. It's expensive, but seems worth the cost.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
