💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about your family.

What was the most interesting question?

So you play guitar? Are you any good? (That question is tied with "So what kind of music do you listen to?)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to current students at different med schools, read the website, re-read secondary application, looked up current events.

What was the most difficult question?

Being asked to explain rough patches in my transcript.

What impressed you positively?

Everything, from the speakers to the students impressed me, everyone seemed to really believe in the drew mission. The interviewer I had really knew my application, so he didn't end up asking me things I had already answered in my apps, mostly more personal questions than anyhing else, and he seemed very interested in my answers.

What impressed you negatively?

Yes, its true what they say about the waiting... I was one of the first people interviewed and still I had to wait around until 1pm when they finally told us that we could go. But I was kinda expecting it so it wasn't so bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing after reading the reviews here.
