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)

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.

Report Response | I was asked this too

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.
