What was the most difficult question?

Asking me the outcome of the research I was involved with. back in 2008. I didn't follow up as it was my former job/research, so make sure you know what's going on with your research even if you aren't there anymore! Oh and your interviewers may or may not grill you for the hours you post for each activity. One of my interviewers was surprised at the amt of extracurricular hours I had, but in turn that surprised me! Med School Applicants are expected to do a lot, especially in the case of the U of U secondary! =)

Student support by faculty and administration. Brand new school facilities

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The location is a good and a bad thing. It's a good thing b/c it's peaceful, beautiful, and no distractions. But it may be too quiet at times, and not sure how the culture is since I'm an OOS applicant who was born and raised in Los Angeles and currently living in New York City.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They really just go by your file. I've interviewed at U of U twice and this was the case both times. Really know your research, it's a big research school, but all in all both experiences, with all 4 interviewers was great and they make you feel really comfortable. They really do just want to get to know you.

If you are not from Utah, go eat at Bombara in Downtown Salt Lake City. Aside from the interview, it will make your trip worthwhile. My favorite restaurant ever! Best of Luck!!
