💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Nothing hard at all. They asked about my SAT and ACT scores.
They asked if I had any artistic talent. It wasn't that hard to answer, but I wasn't expecting it.
why wasn't I applying to MD PHD.

What was the most interesting question?

They started by asking how close I was to my family. Weird way to start, but it does the job of relaxing you.

What was the most difficult question?

They didn't ask me any. I was expecting some ethical questions, or questions about health care, but I didn't get even a single one! All they asked me about was my ECs.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed the SDN interview feedback and read up on the news and current topics.

What impressed you positively?

The whole day was very laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

everyone said they were super friendly, and I guess I was just expecting them to treat me like royalty, b/c i didn't think they were over-the-top friendly. they were not mean, just normal. Although, I'm from indiana, so maybe everyone just behaves that way here?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Ask the interviewers about the 9 competencies before they can ask you. I did this, and so, escaped a 9 comp. question. But I did prepare to discuss them in depth if they wanted to.

What are your general comments?

Overall, good school. Riley is amazing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
