💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How do you know that you can handle the workload of medical school?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read about the school, and looked over my application.
What impressed you positively?
The location of the school.
What impressed you negatively?
Our tour guide was very unprofessional (dropping the F-bomb left and right, taking us in the OMM lab and saying these tables are great for sleeping). The facilities were less then ideal. The anatomy lab was around 50 degrees and my interviewer said it is always really hot (pleasant thought) or really cold. The students spoke of the fourth and fifth floor construction like it is only a rumor and there is really not much happening.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How ridiculous lunch would be (basket of toll house crackers and a scoop of tuna salad, egg salad and something else no one could ID for all 15 of us). Kind of crazy considering the 15 of us spent $200 each to be there.
