💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Scenario question about a waiting room full of patients and the one you are with is not doing what they are supposed to be doing to help themselves.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked over possible questions.
What impressed you positively?
The presentations that the admissions people gave, they were well prepared.
What impressed you negatively?
I was unable to meet any med students, they happened to stop by when we were all on the tour. Some of the facilities that were emphasized were silly things like the spa, dry cleaners, and game stop. I did not like having two people interviewing me, I found it hard to make eye contact, I had to keep looking at the one who asked the question or switching my head back and forth. It took three people for them to answer my question as to when they thought we all would hear back, I thought it was a relatively simple question though. They took a long time to meet over my file, which as longer than they had originally said, about 2 1/2 months. They claimed they had plenty of spots left in their class when I interviewed in October, but when they started reviewing files, people from my interview time were automatically accepted/alternate, meaning they did not have plenty of spots left.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I do not know.
