💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
what did you do in this particular group/student organization?
What was the most interesting question?
when you worked at the psych ER, did you work with any patients who were like you (students)?
How did you prepare for the interview?
read SDN forums, school website, went over details of my own research, familiar with own application, extracurriculars, etc. prepared a binder of stufff.
What was the most difficult question?
something specific about my research, which i hadn't thought in the general terms about how to define a certain field and what it is for.
What impressed you positively?
how well the interviewer had read through my file, that she was enthusiastic about interviewing me and getting to know me, that number of hospitals around the area, and that there is an underground tunnel.
What impressed you negatively?
it seems like the students are a pretty mixed crowd from those who you wonder why they were let in, to those who are serious about medicine. seems like you need to be careful who you hang around. also no one was terribly enthusiastic about being there. also, seems like there is a lack of study areas, ie the library is out of commission, the lab rooms are white and ''lab''-y, though i'm sure you get used to studying there after a while.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
umm.. wear comfortable shoes?
