💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What (in your application) do you want me to ask you about?
You have a physician who has excellent metrics; her patients love her, she handles difficult cases, and her position earns the hospital big bucks. She's rude to her staff, (nurses, etc.) however. What do you do?
You're a fourth year resident and you're doing research. You're going to present your data at a global convention coming up soon, and you find out your PI is falsifying data. What do you do? (your dept chair tells you to sweep it under the rug).

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interviews, read sdn feedback, talked to people who interviewed there.

What impressed you positively?

pretty collaborative feel among students, integrated curriculum, awesome anatomy lab. Good research opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

While there were ample global health opportunities, it seemed harder to get into MPH / underserved / advocacy here.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

shuttle to metra doesn't leave till three. If you're going via metra, bring a book to read or something.

What are your general comments?

I like that there isn't much going on in the area, and that housing is cheap. Plenty of research and global health opportunities, but as I mentioned, less of a focus on service / advocacy area.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None, really. It was an organized, and well-planned day.
