Ethics: Physician assisted suicide scenario.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through Utah's website. Researched all recent news on them (ex.. they just cut a bunch of medical student seats because of loss of funding). Educated myself about current health issues.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Their facilities are brand new/awesome. Opportunities abroad.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Their interviews were not very challenging. Maybe one hard question per interview. The rest was very scripted and generic; made it hard to stand out. Also lack of diversity in Utah.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Awesome quality of education/amazing recreation opportunities...But you also have to live in Salt Lake. I felt I had more in common with med students at other schools. The students seemed anxious to get their degree and get out.
