💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why medicine? / Why Wayne State?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read school website, MSAR, and SDN interview feedback.
What impressed you positively?
The students I met were OUTSTANDING people. Seems to be a high level of clinical experience and engagement in underserved communities in Detroit. Co-curricular programs that incorporate service learning, lectures, seminars, etc. Really sophisticated recording system for recording classes/lectures. Seems like there's lots of scholarship money available.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
My interviewer was NOT directly affiliated with the medical school (worked with undergraduates). If I had known this was a possibility, I would have prepared more questions about living in Detroit, Wayne State in general, etc. rather than very specific questions about the medical school programs.
