What are your general comments?

The whole interview day was great. I actually had fun talking to my interviewers and meeting the med students and other applicants. The staff did a really great job of keeping the experience relaxed and informal. This is the way an interview day should be.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about your research?

What was the most interesting question?

How will linguistics (my undergrad major) help prepare you for medicine?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read past interview questions on SDN, had mock interviews with doctors I work for.

What was the most difficult question?

Do you consider yourself very religious? (I had listed volunteer activities I did through my church on my primary application. I wasn't sure how to answer this one diplomatically since I didn't know my interviewer's opinions.)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was incredibly friendly all day. The entire affair was non-stressful. The interviews themselves were just conversations about me and my activities that I had listed on the AMCAS. Nobody grilled me about anything and the staff were very helpful as well. The medical campus is expanding and the university seems to take really good care of its students.

What impressed you negatively?

Not a single thing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I feel like I was pretty prepared.
