What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about stem cells. (I believe this was my ethical question, but I took it in another direction entirely by talking about working in a bone marrow transplant unit watching my peds patients undergo transplants...oops.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

What number are the Jayhawks ranked? (this is what I get for using the phrase 'die-hard Jayhawk fan' and only watching a few recent games).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

If I were to say based on your science GPA of 2.87 and your senior science GPA of 2.0 (PUZZLING to me since my sci gpa is >3.0 and I didn't take any science classes my sr year!!) that you couldn't handle the load in medical school, what would you say? Is is ok to correct an interviewer??!

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions ▼

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read website, AACOM app, secondary app, interview feedback questions, mock interview with PreMed advisor, mock interview with friends, etc. All of which did NOT prepare me for the ''pressure tactics.''

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The STUDENTS for sure, the facilities (I had no idea they had the simulators before the tour...), the responsiveness of the faculty, the experience of the faculty, the genuine and sincere attitude of all the people there, etc, etc.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Location. I was prepared, so it was not a surprise. Sort of felt like one of my interviewers was launching a personal attack with some questions, but as he walked me back, he told me he'd tried to see how I responded to pressure, and that I'd done well.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To account for the interview day running long. Had to catch a flight in Louisville at 6:30 and only made it on time by driving 90mph x 3 hrs. I DID save a bunch of money by flying in there instead of TYS in Knoxville, but perhaps should've flown home TYS.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall great. Liked the med school, the people, and the opportunities they are lining up. Good lunch, too! I liked it that they gave us a tour of the on-campus housing also instead of just talking about it. The tablets they provide are great (I have friends at other schools that use them). I really hope I get accepted. I can see myself doing well there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. They were great.
