Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

See above. Most of the questions were basic, however my first interviewer (MSIII) pushed all of the questions very far. For example, I answered the first question in detail, but the answer was not sufficient (as most of my answers). It became a sort of debate.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

My faculty interviewer (second interview) was very kind. He set the pace at the beginning by stating that I could relax and it ended up as a frienly conversation. He seemed impressed from the beginning, so the interview was short and to the point.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interviewer (an MSIII)! He was very cold and did not know how to socialize. He smirked as I answered some questions and seemed to get a rise out of arguing with answers that I gave him. Especially with regards to the ethical topics. Some questions dragged on for 10 minutes! The overall interview was well over an hour which made me late to my next interview! He didn't agree with my weaknesses. (?!) And at the end of the interview he told me know was the time to be honest. After an hour and 15 minutes of questioning!?! However, I was accepted, so I guess it wasn't too much of a negative for the admissions committee.
