How would your teach understanding of different races, cultures, and creeds to Northwesten medical students, qua curriculum organizer?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, AMCAS file review, Secondary review, internet research on health care + medical ethics, practice interviews, and long hours of angst and moral development
What impressed you positively?
Everyone I met at NU treated me very well. Their panel interview format is actually great, which I had not expected (in fact, previously I feared and loathed it...). The campus was some endearing mixture of modern, opulent, and urbane.
What impressed you negatively?
Some students could only think to tout the school's location. This made me wary - of the school itself and of some students' lack of pride in going to a school ranked 20th. Nevertheless, I LOVE NU.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
NU ought to have been my first choice from the very first.
