💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Student: Questions about my teaching job/foreign volunteering experience since he had done similar stuff. What was hardest about this activity? Do you have any questions for me?
What was the most interesting question?
What are your thoughts about Obama's health plan? After I expressed uncertainty about how it would be paid for, he asked me to talk about some ways that we could reduce costs in medicine.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Nothing, really. I tried to keep up on current events since the Obama health care plan was pretty big in the news cycle for the week before my interview.
What was the most difficult question?
Is there anything else I should tell the admissions committee?
I didn't have anything to say (I hit all the big points I wanted to in the interview), so I sort of sputtered that I really liked Michigan (truth), but I think it came out really awkward. Oh well.
What impressed you positively?
The school is very well-run. Students are VERY happy. P/F first two years. I love the flextime quizzes. Family centered experience seems cool. Also, the students seem to have lives outside of medicine...which is definitely something I was looking for.
What impressed you negatively?
Anatomy lab was crowded relative to other schools I had seen....but this is a very minor point.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That since there were 40 of us interviewing that day, it'd be pretty easy to find other people to split a cab to the airport with.
