💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Great conversation with this interviewer that was research heavy. He is one of the founding fathers of a niche in the field I am interested in. We actually went over time by maybe 30m. Research, research, research.
This interviewer asked a lot of questions regarding my current research (which is not the focus of my future career interests). He also asked a lot of questions probing some of interests listed on my AMCAS, seeing how I fit together into one coherent story. Fun conversation.
This interviewer focused a lot on my future career goals. We talked briefly about my previous research, and how I would tie my future research interests into a career as a physician scientist.
