What are your general comments?
Like others have said, these interviews are more like conversations. I wasn't asked any difficult questions, not even the typical "why do you want to be a doctor?" or the "biggest problem in health care." However, I interviewed in early November so they may become tougher later on.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What was the last book you read?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, reviewed AMCAS and secondary, also looked at the school's website.
What impressed you positively?
Really nice hospital, probably the nicest one that I have ever seen. I also liked the block schedule. All of the admissions staff were extremely friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
The city is somewhat shady if you go 1-2 blocks away from the hospital/school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Interviews are scheduled in either the morning or afternoon. Some people arrived at 8:30 only to find out that their interviews weren't until the afternoon, so they had to wait around until the orientation started at 11. So, you should call to find out when your interviews are.
