💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How is the pre-med life at UChicago? (I go to undergrad here)
What was the most difficult question?
Nothing really. All the interviews were pretty conversational and they specifically said that they don't want to ask any difficult questions or questions to trip us up because they were confident that if we were chosen for an interview we could all take on the course load. They really just wanted to get to know you as a person.

How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview, went through every question on the interview feedback here on SDN, talked to my reflection a lot
What impressed you positively?
Everybody -- all the staff, faculty, students -- were absolutely the nicest bunch of people that I've ever met. And all the students that I talked to seemed genuinely happy to go to Pritzker and they all seemed very passionate about their involvement with the different activities at Pritzker.
What impressed you negatively?
My student interviewer seemed a bit bored at first and almost felt like she wasn't paying attention to me, but I think that was because she took down the most amount of notes and was so focused on that. She was, in the end, very helpful in answering questions and very nice to talk to as well.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I would've known how stress-free the entire day would be and that you'd meet so many great interviewees during the day.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Nothing really. They were some of the friendliest, most helpful group of people ever and they really made you feel welcomed.
