What are your general comments?
I thought it was great. They tell you everything you need to know about the school. I also like having 2 interviews because you get a different perspective from each person. Plus, you have a chance to mention things in the second interview that you may have left out of the first.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What is the difference between ethics and morals? Are ethics always right?
What was the most interesting question?
Imagine I am mentally challenged and blind. I am unable to comprehend complex terms. How would you describe physical pain to me?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, reserached the school, reread my AMCAS and secondary
What was the most difficult question?
What is logic? But only because it surprised me. We were going along with the typical questions (why medicine, why tufts, etc.) and then all of a sudden he threw this in without skipping a beat.
What impressed you positively?
The morning sessions are extremely informative. You really get a sense for what they have to offer. I think that the curriculum is set up beautifully. The weekly PBL and the immediate exposure to patient care is phenomenal. Also, they have not given out all of their acceptances before you get there, so you are actually competing for an available spot.
What impressed you negatively?
That neither interviewer asked me if I had questions. Not that I did, but I was expecting them to ask.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interviews are in the afternoon, and they occur in real time. You never know if you are going to be called for an interview, or a tour. You are just kind of waiting around.
