Tell us about a time when you had to prioritize multiple responsibilities and what you did to take care of them all.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I studied the questions that other applicants were asked on SDN

What was the most difficult question?

What in your opinion is one of the biggest problems with health care today and what are some of your thoughts about this problem?

What impressed you positively?

Location, and definitely the campus and exercise facilities. The most impressive part of the experience was the dean and being able to hear about his passion for people and medicine, he seemed like an incredible man to be around.

What impressed you negatively?

The actual medical school facilities and resources were not very impressive. My group only got to meet with medical students for a little less than an hour while eating lunch. My interviewers never gave me the chance to ask them questions and neither did anybody else throughout the entire experience. Life and rent is expensive in south Florida which is not very appealing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew that they would provide me with a nice folder and notebook. And I wish that I would have known how non-informative the interview day would have been.
