💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Open file for first interview with faculty, closed file for student interview. The questions were generally pretty conversational and nothing too intense. I think they really did just want to get to know you as a person/future physician, with one minor caveat: just because it's conversational, doesn't mean you should stop selling yourself. In fact, I would ensure that you work extra hard to sell yourself. Personally, I find that with interviewers that are super-nice, I have a tendency to assume, oh hey, we're all buddies and since we finished on such a happy note, I'm sure the interview went well. Make sure you leave that interview showing them *exactly* why you think you'd be a great fit at Case, and keep repeating that over and over, no matter how many laughs/giggles you guys share.

What was the most interesting question?

Who are you most proud of? Just didn't see this coming, kinda threw me for a minor loop.

What was the most difficult question?

No real difficult questions...just come prepared to talk more about stuff in your personal statement/secondary. They seemed really interested in my psych research, which I was a little surprised about, seeing as how it's psychology-based, not science-based. I honestly found the student interview a little more difficult (which is extra ironic considering my faculty interview was with the director), probably because I dont think it really flowed that well, and my interviewer (although she was super nice after the interview) really fluctuated between animated and deadpan a lot..was pretty interesting.

It's like a big family here..people are really out to boost each other and build each other up. Faculty is very responsive and encouraging/generous. It's just a great place to be overall, I really hope things work out for me on Oct 15th and I can call this place home next year.
