💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I'm completely paraphrasing these questions, because I don't quite remember them. Do you have anything else you would like me to know about you?

What are your hobbies? But like I said, most of the questions are specific to your own experiences.

Why medicine?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

It's been awhile, but all the questions were very specific to my application. I wasn't really asked too many general questions. I guess why my one of my MCAT sections scores was so low in the first place.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

There weren't any difficult questions. Although there was an activity I had listed on my application that had nothing to do with the medical field that I was asked about, and I was surprised that he had asked about it because nobody in previous interviews had ever cared about the non-medical aspects of my application. But it was a very conversational question. Asking what I liked about the teaching, and I had never thought about it consciously before, but it was a fun question.
