What are your general comments?
I had a conversation with the coolest/nicest lady, ex-head of Psych dept and Director of Residency program. Nit-picked about every aspect of my AMCAS for 40 minutes, talked about family, my mom's passing due to cancer, and the essay on diversity I wrote for them (which had some strong statements she wanted to ask about). We then had some really good convos about understaffing at the DMC, Psych-related issues for kids (some from my shadowing experience), and our opinions on Press-Gainey surveys (that was a fun one). Overall, a great convo and a very encouraging one.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
So, I read you've got some publications? What kinds of poems do you write?
What was the most interesting question?
What's the one thing that just fires you up, makes you feel empassioned?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, FeedForward, Formulated own questions, Shadowed a DMC physician
What was the most difficult question?
I understand you may be disappointed that we don't have an MD/MBA program. If you're accepted to a school that has one, will you choose it over Wayne State?
What impressed you positively?
The interviewer (Awesome lady) took time to describe the different admissions processes between schools, and was open to conversation on some Detroit-based issues with me following discussion of my app.
What impressed you negatively?
Office staff a bit grumpy, but it was really cold that day. Lack of an MD/MBA program, especially in the very biz-oriented city of Detroit, was a bit of a let-down.

I knew everything ahead of time...I live here.
