💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Looks like you did some research, give me an overview and tell me your findings. Guessed ahead of time that SGU would arrange for a cardiologist who had done echocardiography research, just so they could quiz me about my paper. It's a niice.
Looks like you had some rough patches in undergrad, how have you improved since then? If it were up to me, why should i let you in?
Why Medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

None - all prescripted questions, read from SGU's list for interviewers. Nothing original at all. Though do be prepared to talk about a prominent ethics topic (choose one from UW ethics site). Just an overview with a few points is fine.

What was the most difficult question?

None - all foreseeable if you've read through the posts here, on Interview Feedback.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Interview Feedback - got all the essay prompts (chose one, wrote it out in advance, memorized it, regurge on interview day), all general questions and situations they could be given. Health care policy blog. UW ethics site. Med school interview book. Treatment kind and fair takeaways. Reviewed personal statement, C.V., GSP essay. All in all, uber-overprepared :)

What impressed you positively?

Dr. K is a genuinely nice guy.

What impressed you negatively?

But there is not an ounce of assertiveness in his body. No original questions, no real enthusiasm except just a big, general summary of his experiences at SGU. Which, i suppose, i should appreciate since there were no tricks.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Better to have overprepared than the alternative.

What are your general comments?

It felt really short and that I did most of the talking. Wished he could've been more enthusiastic but he seemed to have been on a busy schedule - can't blame it on a character flaw (got a page the last 5 minutes of the interview, answered it, told the Dr. on the other end that he'd be there in 5). Must be another overworked resident.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
