What are your general comments?
Everything was okay, but the faculty interview just ruined it for me. The student interviewer was extremely friendly and nice though.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Just go through ALL the questions down the feedback list. All is asked (IF you get my interviewer)
What was the most interesting question?
Well, nothing interesting, but basically got ALL questions asked down a whole list of questions (which is basically a compilation of ALL questions collected from interview feedback questions listed from SDN) Questions I thought were not relevant in determining candidacy as a med student or fit for school.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read through all of SDN interview feedback for the school, browsed the school's website, SDN search on the school.
What was the most difficult question?
Not difficult because I knew about the question from SDN, but I thought was ridiculous: ''Write down and rank 12 most important traits as a physician''
What impressed you positively?
Dean of the school and Mr. Rosso. Campus is clean. Student body seemed laid back and short lecture hours per day.
What impressed you negatively?
My interviewers. He was an a**, was not interested in interviewing. Was SUPPOSED to be open-file, but it was closed-file for him. Didn't bother to respond to my answers and just moved from one Q to next by reading down a list. When asked something, gave very tert answers. No wonder he's in the specialty he's in.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How long and boring the tour is. How I had to wait for over 2 hours just sitting in a room for my first interviewer to come by and get me. How depressing Buffalo is.
