💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Suppose you are quarterback this week and it's the day after Match Day. The M1's went out to help the M4's celebrate. This morning your classmates are not being cooperative in PBL. How would you handle the situtation?
What do you think are the issues surrounding the healthcare crisis?
Where do you see yourself in ten years? Where do you see yourself ten years after that?

What was the most interesting question?

Suppose medical care and prescriptions are free, and there is a doctor for every square mile -- so access and affordability are not barriers -- would that solve the healthcare problems in this state? Why or why not?

What was the most difficult question?

Think of a policy you disagree with but you complied with anyway.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website, AMA's Code of Medical Ethics, reviewed my AMCAS and secondary essays, and read through SDN's Interview Feedback

What impressed you positively?

The student tour guides were extremely enthusiastic about the school. The interviews were very low stress and conversational.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The meeting with the Dean of Students was as a group. She goes around the table peppering each applicant with questions to get to know you, so it is sort of like a mini interview -- except the Dean does not have a vote at the adcom meeting.

What are your general comments?

The day was very relaxed. The admissions office has a comfortable waiting area with complimentary water and snacks. They give you a folder full of information about the school. I was interviewed by an orthopaedic surgeon and an 4th year student. Both interviewers were extremely nice and conversational. After the interviews we took a tour, lead by two M2s, of the PBL labs and lecture halls. Lunch was provided (sandwich, chips, cookie, drink). Then we met with the dean. The last thing on the agenda was stopping by the financial aid office to meet the advisor. She detailed how much it cost to attend Mizzou and what financial aid options are available. From start to finish the interview ''day'' took 3 1/2 hours.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
