💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Specifics about ECs listed on AMCAS.

What was the most interesting question?

What do you enjoy most about Cincinnati?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN and looked at prior interviews. Looked through AMCAS pretty thoroughly.

What was the most difficult question?

Two patients, each needing a liver transplant, are vying for the same donor liver. One is a former alcoholic with cirrhosis of the liver and the other is an HIV positive homosexual who needs a transplant because of liver damage caused by the anti-viral medication. Who would you give it to? Why?

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students are really nice. The clinical skills lab will be great prep for the clinical portion of the boards.

What impressed you negatively?

Lots of construction everywhere. The library is presently split up in three or more locations, that is the ideal situation for studying. Fortunately, it'll be remedied soon.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lunch at 11 a.m. I find that really early.
