💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Do you have a best friend? Name one good quality and one bad quality.
What was the most interesting question?
Questions that were most interesting to me had to do with my background. For example, one interviewer asked me to clarify some of the chronological events that happened in my life.
How did you prepare for the interview?
This website, Review Amcas Application, Resume, Personal statement.
What was the most difficult question?
Have a group of people that you were with, ever used a derogatory term towards another group? What did you do?
What impressed you positively?
The fact that the interviewers role play. It took me a while to figure out what they were doing. Also I was able to ask as many questions as possible.
What impressed you negatively?
The first interviewer appeared to be uninterested. Again, I believe that he was role playing. Perhaps he was the patient and I the physician and my role was to spark some interest.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish that I knew that the admissions staff would be so kind and helpful. This knowledge would have made me less anxious about the interview.
