What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

All the general questions you'd expect. Why DO? Why LMU? Why rural healthcare? etc...
Asked about essays and applications (the qualities I posses and the experiences/exposures I've had with medicine). If you wrote your own paper these will be givens...lol.
What do I do when I'm stressed? What are my hobbies? How have I liked the school/area?

What was the most interesting question?

Why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane? (I skydive). So I told them they obviously hadn't seen our plane, and having a parachute was a good idea. Broke the ice and had an awesome interview.

What was the most difficult question?

I see you received C+'s in two science classes, what did you learn from this and why did it occur?

Being in the mountains was amazing. The Appalachians are absolutely stunning and I can't imagine how they look in warmer weather. The students and faculty were really excited about the school and it's potential in the future. Very technologically advanced.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. I interviewed on a cold, rainy day, so that wasn't too pleasant. But other than that I was thoroughly impressed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would rain. I feel the only article of clothing I didn't bring was a rain coat...lol

Enjoy the interview and relax, be yourself. The area is gorgeous and the students and faculty are very welcoming.
