💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

(After explaining why medicine) Then why not be an NP?

What was the most interesting question?

None stand out

What was the most difficult question?

Asked me about my interest in a subject/issue that I never mentioned in my app, then insisted it was on my app when I told them I had no experience with it and had never talked about it. Odd experience- I do not know if it was a weird version of a stress test or if I was confused for someone else.
