SDN, my amcas, mock interview

What impressed you positively?

The Health Sciences Education Building. Its first class and fairly new. The views are very impressive. Tons of research opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

We may not find out the decision on our files until March

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers would not ask me any questions on my volunteering but focus on research.

What are your general comments?

The interviews, in general were laid back, especially with the 4th year med student. The faculty member was more serious even though he didn't ask any typical interview questions. He focused more on how I deal with diversity, health care, and with patients. No questions about my volunteering experience. Only questions on my research and leadership
