💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why do you want to go into medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

You made the claim that you had researched for over 50 hours over only two months with this professor, that seems like a lot, should we call to verify that?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, application, talked with others who interviewed there.

What was the most difficult question?

Please explain your activities while you were volunteering at the ____? The interviewer was not satisfied until I talked for over ten minutes about it.

What impressed you positively?

The schools facilities are the nicest I've seen, there seems to an excess of funding.

What impressed you negatively?

Not to be racist, but the demographics of the first year class we attended definatly don't match the demographics of the state of Utah or even the application pool,I'm sure of that. Hooray for Affirmative Action and the U's attempts to diversify.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How little my chances of being accepted are because I'm not "under-represented in medicine", also that they are going to verify EVERYTHING on my application before my final admission. I hope the person they call agrees I put in the same number of hours as I said on my primary and secondary applications. DON'T EXAGERATE
