💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How will you pay for medical school? (This was specific to me. I lost my father during my freshman year, and had to begin working at the end of my sophomore year. This lowered my grades and so I referenced my job and finances several times so the question was warranted). See my suggestions for this in the suggestion box.

The limited amount of good, affordable housing near the Health Sciences Center.

What are your general comments?

You should know that you will divided into three groups. The first group goes to interview at 9 the second and third begin the tour with the second interviewing at 10 and the third at 11(my interview time). You can use what you learned on the tour in the interview. Also, you should keep in mind that the first half of the interview is closed file and the second half was open file. In reference to being asked about finances have a well prepared plan. I was honest and said that I am 1) prepared to take out loans, 2) am debt free to this point, 3) have only taken loans and immediately repaid them to build a credit score, 4) have been extensively researching the Air Force to pay medical loans.
