💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

my grades- Of the 7 interviews I did, this is the only one that asked about my grades. I got a low grade in Soc. almost 14 years ago (nevermind graduating cum laude after going back school...) and they asked me about it
my religious convictions- I think this line of questioning is inappropriate (you want a doctor with moral fiber and good sense of ethics right?). However, the underlying concern is that you will take advantage of others in compromising situations- so I spoke to that concern, and how I respect those of other backgrounds, beliefs etc. If you have strong religious convictions be prepared to answer this concern/question of how you deal with those of other faiths/backgrounds- 5 of the 7 interviews I did at various schools asked me about this
why do you want to be a doctor

What impressed you positively?

good facilities, helpful administration, teaching assistant program for OMM, broad clinical experiences

What impressed you negatively?

bad area- most students commute at least 15 minutes to campus (I would like to live across the street or on campus if possible!) all the security makes you wonder. The smog in that area is BAD though, I don't like to see the air I breath
