💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about your activities. Which activity on yoru AMCAS would you put most emphasis on? What is your greatest nonacademic achievement? What would you do for a living if there was a law that said you couldn't do medicine as your career?
What was the most interesting question?
As a doctor, what title would you give yourself? Like what would you want to be remembered as? What is your greatest nonacacemic achievement?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN feedback and went over my AMCAS. I'd advise you to know your AMCAS well and know about issues related to things peripherally related to your essays and activities. i.e. if you mention your native country and the poverty there then be able to know the political issues that may be the root of those problems and be able to discuss it.
They don't expect answers to be the world's solutions just to see that you can think quickly about the issues and that you are able to come up with an answer on the spot.
What was the most difficult question?
See above. Also, question about the political situation in my country. I mentioned my native country in my essays.
What impressed you positively?
Very enthusiastic. Liked the fact that the hospitals and everything was close by rather then on the other side of town. Also impressed with Stan the dummy
What impressed you negatively?
They couldn't give impression from the other side, so it seemed like they were overly positive for the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the students are very friendly and not as gunnerish as people portray them nor is this impression that all they want are people with extensive research necessarily true.
