💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I was never asked "Why UMass", but I was asked "Why Medicine."
One interviewer, while she could have looked at my file beforehand, chose not to. She just wanted to talk about what got me to the interview. My classes in college, activities, experiences etc. Very laid back.
The next interview was a bit more rigid. The interviewer had clearly checked my application and had written down some specifics that he wanted to discuss with me. Such as my research, studying abroad, future plans etc. Not a very high stress interview, but a bit more formal the last.
