💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why the GRE instead of the MCAT?
What was the most interesting question?
The questions were not really pointed but, rather more part of the conversation to get to know me. "Tell us about yourself" type of questions.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I asked faculty at my college for the type of questions I would be asked and had a mock interview with them. I also made sure I knew a lot about the program at Midwestern University.
What was the most difficult question?
Very pointedly, I was asked "Why are you submitting a GRE score and not an MCAT score? Why aren't you taking the MCAT?"
What impressed you positively?
I was very pleased with the outstanding facilities, the quality of pre-clinical education, and especially the friendliness and helpful spirit I felt on campus and while speaking with students and faculty. The area all around the campus is very nice and safe. They are building a brand new clinic to match their campus. It looks like it will be great!
What impressed you negatively?
The heat! It is horribly hot in Arizona. Good thing there is air conditioning everywhere you go.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How friendly everyone is there. I was quite a bit more nervous about the interview than I should have been. What I mean is... even during the interview itself, everything was very pleasant and friendly instead of attacking (I've heard horror stories about interviews at other schools). I never felt like they were attacking me even when they were asking for clarification on items in my application. They smiled a lot and even made some jokes. This helped everything to seem very low stress.
