💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What are some of the current problems facing medicine?
What was the most interesting question?
Where do you see yourself in 20 years-
maybe some of us are too type A and have it all planned out--while i've THOUGHT about it, I'm not one of them so it was the first time I had to put words to this question for myself.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read over AMCAS, SDN feedback, read their website and informational packet they sent me thoroughly
What was the most difficult question?
Three strengths and three weakness that I recognize in myself.
What impressed you positively?
They really hold themselves to the mission they describe. Many schools have a great mission statement and all kinds of lofty goals, I feel like this school more than others I've visited strive to keep in line with their described ideals.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing comes to me immediately, the only thing I can even nitpick about was the traffic surrounding the complex that housed the school-incredibly confusing if you ask me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
nothing comes to mind yet again, but maybe that the interviewer wouldn't have known my grades and MCAT-i THINK its closed file, cause that's what he suggested when he told me he didn't have those stats, but he did have recommendation letters and secondary essays...
