💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Ever seen the movie 'Sicko'?
If you were Bush's advisor, what would you tell him about Iraq?
Why do you want to be a doctor?

What was the most interesting question?

I was asked about my opinions on the war in Iraq, and what I would tell Bush if I was his advisor.

What was the most difficult question?

This was my second round interviewing with AMC, and this year I was fortunate enough not to get hazed by ethics question after ethics question. No difficult questions, very congenial! I felt like they actually wanted to get to know me this year!

How did you prepare for the interview?

Wasted my time prepping for an ethics examination, but apparently others were given ethics questions. SDN, re-read primary and secondary apps.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewers! The faculty we met were great, and the admissions staff very friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

Condition of the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

AMC has gotten more applications, and awarded less interviews this year. They did not even touch a wait list last year.

What are your general comments?

Friendly and cordial! Besides the standard 'why medicine' questions, we talked about everything from Iraq to movies.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Uhh, send me an acceptance letter!
