💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What is your greatest weakness?

What was the most interesting question?

By the way this interview is for the "Prefer Applicants", a sort of Guaranteed Admission to their medical school when you are a sophomore. From what I heard, this is pretty much their real interview tactic also. How was your childhood? (That was the most interesting question ever)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read online forums and mock interview with friends

What was the most difficult question?

What is your greatest weakness?

What impressed you positively?

The School is great and everyone at the admission officer are really great people.

What impressed you negatively?

The Dr was late, but it was understandable. I missed lunch with all the other applicants / the med student, but it was quite alright.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Never buy new shoes like the day before the interview. I didn't notice it at the time, but by the end of the day, I was bleeding, because of that stupid thing. It cut my ankle like a knife.
