💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What was the last book you read for fun?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reading over my research (this was key), reading through my secondary application, and looking over the schools website.

Rural providers often report becoming burned out. Why do you think you would be able to avoid burn out? Why are you different?
What impressed you positively?
The student-led tour of the health sciences building, the facilities were absolutely beautiful.
What impressed you negatively?
The lack of organized activities (there was a full two hours that I was expected to fill myself, either with school work or a self-guided tour).
