💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
If a friend who knew you very well came into this room when you were not, how would they describe you? What makes you interested in medicine at Dalhousie?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Spoke with Dal med students.
What was the most difficult question?
Re: how you react to frustrations/challenges...I needed to come up with specific scenarios on the spot.
What impressed you positively?
The totally casual attitude of the students...no cut-throat fierce competitive atmosphere here.
What impressed you negatively?
Perhaps a little too casual...not exactly disinterest on the part of the students, but I did not really feel that they were trying to impart an excitement about doing med at Dal...or maybe the students are already blase about medicine? I have a name that's not your typical Maritime name, and I was disappointed that they not only misspelled it, but substituted another more common name (of the opposite gender!)for my given name! I knew right away that they had messed up my name (because my surname was correct...and I doubt there was another interviewee with my surname), but when I corrected them, they seemed to not believe me for a few minutes...and kept looking for this non-existent interviewee at my appointment time. *sigh*
