💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Ethical question about how I would react to another student who refused to plug an artery without gloves for an HIV+ patient.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Gosh...Read over application, printed out and vocalized answers to questions on this site, Duke site, researched current healthcare issues, etc. Like I said, way overprepared.
What was the most difficult question?
Do you have any questions for me? (I was way overprepared)
What impressed you positively?
Humility of the students and faculty there. Also, the ''our students are expected to change the world'' attitude of the faculty. They seem to feel that their med students are capable adults, and depend on them as such.
What impressed you negatively?
No signs helping us get to the admissions office. Also, interviews seemed very brief, especially considering the very involved secondary app.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Brief interviews sort of threw me. I had a lot of things that I didn't get to say, but the interviewers said they got a good picture, so whatever.
