💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about Medicare and Medicaid.
What's astrobiology?
What's capoeira?

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing really. My second interviewer and I spoke about capoeira and astrobiology.

What was the most difficult question?

What will you do if you don't get into medical school? (Now, I thought that he meant if I never got into medical school, even after applying 15000000000 times, so I said that I would pursue a PhD. He seemed to get frustrated and kept pressing and I finally got out of him that he wanted to know if I planned on reapplying. He said he had to make sure I was determine. I said to him, ''Of course I'll reapply. If I wasn't determined, I wouldn't have taken the MCATs twice.'')

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, spoke with friends that go there

What impressed you positively?

It's in Albany and I know Albany? I don't know... nothing really.

What impressed you negatively?

They dissect their cadavars over a year (gross), the area is terrible, the tour guide seemed depressed and unhappy and to ''have just settled'' for AMC... not very encouraging.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the students there are unhappy. Which I already partly knew. But I wish I knew that it was more than just one...

What are your general comments?

I'm really not interested in the school. They told everyone that we would hear back within two weeks. It's been over 8. Probably not good news, but I doubt I'd go there over my current acceptance even if I was accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
