What are your general comments?
Very nice. It was very informal and since I had answers prepared for every possible question it felt like I could take my time and we had a conversation about each question. It seemed to go quite well and I would be very surprised if I do not get accepted.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell us something about you that is not in your file...have a good example that will speak well of your character.
What was the most interesting question?
The dinner question...he told me he was going to describe a scenrio (me making dinner) and then ask me a question (3 people, dead or alive, to invite).
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview with pre-med committee and prepared answers for all possible questions.
It's good to have examples, and if you acn tell it in a story, even better.
What was the most difficult question?
None really. I was familiar with all possible questions as this is a standard format interview...everyone gets the same questions.
The only ? came from my file was to expalain my grades. My GPA/Time looks like a V, so I explained it shortly and we moved on.
What impressed you positively?
Informal, personable and conversational interview. The school is also nice, expanding and seems to always be looking to improve.
What impressed you negatively?
At first, I thought the town was a bit lame, but then we (my wife and I) got to know some locals and felt more comfortable. I didn't find anything negative about the visit.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Demographics of town...
Peach St. runs N/S and is parallel to State St. which cuts the town into E/W. East is pretty ghetto and West is the better side of town. I like to know this kind of info when I go to foreign places.
