What was the most difficult question?

1. Explain humanity to an alien. (I explained it in terms of compassion, benevolence and cooperation, all at the same time realizing the big hole in my argument and praying not to get a follow up question) 2. If we are so kind, why do we have war? And is war the result of wanting to help our kind? (they pulled WWII in for me to use as an example)

The nice clean, safe campus and simulation lab.

The breakfast. Thankfully I ate at the hotel.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there are some very chill AZCOM interviews, and then very hard ones (like mine and a few other people's). Most people I talked to the day of (and on SDN) felt really good after their interview and I was expecting typical questions (my medical ethics were all prepared). But I left feeling much more nervous than before my interview. (Don't fret, they're trying to throw you off. Luckily things turned out for the best.)
