How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

How welcoming and warm Dr. C was. He really made me excited about the opportunities I could have if I get into SGU, and how fun and communal the lifestyle on the island is.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I was better prepared to defend my essay.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I felt the interview went well, despite a couple hiccups. The interview style was more of a conversation, with one question leading into another. No ethics questions! Some questions: -Since you have had academic difficulty in the beginning of college, how can you be sure that you will be able to get through it again in med school? -Why SGU -What was the most solidifying experience you had that confirmed your desire to become a physician? -How will you financially support yourself through med school -How do you de-stress? -How do you think you will adjust to life on the island? -What area of medicine do you plan on practicing -Tell me about your application process to medical schools -are you concerned about being an FMG? -how did you find out about SGU -tell me about yourself
