How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my essays and brainstormed over the types of questions which could be asked, went over how I would present my life experiences, kept up with current events and recent health care issues, read a book on medical ethics and visited this website.

What impressed you positively?

The friendly atmosphere during the interviews... it was all very casual and I really felt that the interviewers were trying to get to know me.

What impressed you negatively?

No tours, no fancy lunch (unlike some other people who have posted their experiences at McGill!), no chance to meet current med students on the interview day (though there was a pizza party organized on the weekend).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was all very casual and relaxed. One interviewer asked me some tough questions, but I felt that I could answer well because I am very familiar with the type of medicine I want to practice. ALso the interviewer was very friendly and not at all confrontational. My experience there has made me even more excited about McGill!
