What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Do you plan to have children? (Ob/gyn asked that. then proceeded to tell me 15-25 was the most fertile age and that clock is ticking, (I am just 19 so it's ok with me).
Since I will be advocating your case to the admission committee, what should I tell them?
So tell me why you want to be a doctor.

What was the most interesting question?

Was your mom on fertility treatment when she had triplets or was it natural. ( that has a lot to do with the interview?! interviewer was ob/gyn though, so i guess it interested her. )

SDN, general questions list

What impressed you positively?

great people, nice and friendly. awesome buildings. good facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really. one of my interviewers (the ob/gyn) had not reviewed my ap, which i thought was a drawback since i had great essays.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

they provided a portfolio, if i knew that, i wouldn't have taken one with me.

What are your general comments?

Didn't start out great cuz I live in amarillo, and I decided to drive there on the morning of instead of night before, and alarm didn't go off. Still made it on time though. There were multiculture office reps to greet us with donuts and juice etc. Linda Prado then gave us a short tour of the building and orientation followed. The dean and another person who was supposed to speak were unable to be there ( a lil disorganized there, I thought) but someone filled in. long presentation, but I liked it. Lunch isn't suited to vegetarians, just a precaution in case you are one. My first interview was an ob/gyn who said she had been too busy to read my ap,so I had to sort of start from scratch. She was also 10 mins late cuz of her surgery that she was doing, but it was alright. She was really nice. DeRiese was her namo. She asked me about CHIP, and I was unfamiliar with any lately updated stuff on it, which I thought was the only negative thing to my interviews. She conversed with me, wished me good luck at the end. Second interviewers, Blanton, was awesome! He started the interview with '' I love your essay'' and basically proceeded to tell me what the admission committee looks for and how I meet it. We talked about a lot of things, not all of them medically related. It was great! Very nice guy. He ended the interview with ''I'll see you on campus next fall'' I hope so!! This was my first interview and for a first one, this is probably as easy as it can get. Good luck to all of you!
