No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

everything - reading on healthcare, ethics, mock interview with meds and career center, reading on world issues, reflections, getting focused...

What impressed you positively?

The entire hospital complex is just so dynamic, plus i love the city, people are extra friendly

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the tour involves a tour of anatomy lab involving looking at corpse, don't do that right before your interview if it may bother you. It's pretty relaxed atmosphere prior to your interview, meds actually sit there to talk to you and help you relax

What are your general comments?

It was a good first and only interview for me. I put a lot of effor into preparing, was focused and not nervous. In an afterthought, i think I could've done better if i was more alert and thought more carefully, but given the situation i've done my best
