The second interview, with a second year student, went very well. Overall the experience was a nervous first for me. Very impressed with the cirriculum-- this is my top choice school.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why medicine vs. clinical research? (I have a strong research background)
LOTS of research on sites like this, talked to a friend currently enrolled there. Studied up on managed care and current med topics, but there were no questions about that.
What was the most difficult question?
You are about to devote your life to a career in medicine, with no prior clinical experience. How can you think you know what being a doctor is really like?
The Dean of Admissions, Dr. Foxwell. Also, the whole school had a very laid back atmosphere.
What impressed you negatively?
My first interview. It was short and the guy seemed uninterested. Also, I was kind of own my own to navigate through the campus to find my interviewers.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interviews are conducted all over the campus. I had to walk a couple of blocks through the city in the snow to get to and from my first interview.
