💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What would you do if you are not accepted to medical school? (I answered I'd do it again) How would you improve your app? (I answered I'd get more clinical experience)
What was the most interesting question?
During your experience volunteering at the ER, have you seen anything that impressed you negatively (re medicine)?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock, SDN feedback, website.
What was the most difficult question?
Your personal essay seems kinda dry... Why medicine? (What he meant was that my essay was focused more on my background/bio [I'm nontrad] than on "why medicine". I did not get his drift until after interview. I did not respond as well as I could have.)
What impressed you positively?
Democratic spirit (the students seem to really have a voice), friendly people, gorgeous facilities and interior design. Better financial aid that I thought.
What impressed you negatively?
Tuition and high cost of living in Boston.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It took me forever to find the parking lot. Directions to parking lot should be included with directions to the school itself.
