What are your general comments?
It was really great. Try and stay with a current medical student (I did). They are really nice, willing to answer a bunch of questions honestly, and you'll get rides to campus.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What do you think will be the biggest problem us, as physicians, will be facing? (student interview)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read over a bunch of practice questions, past research, AMCAS application stuff, current medical issues. I was way over prepared.
What was the most difficult question?
What is the biggest problem in healthcare today? (none were really hard)
What impressed you positively?
The county hospital is amazing. Especially since i am interested in ER. The navy even opened a station here since this ER has the most ''Baghdad like injuries'' in all of America. Everyone was super nice and students seemed very happy and got along with each other well. Day was also very short relative to other schools.
What impressed you negatively?
The cost. Average student loan is about 250 and by the time your done with residency, with interest, it will be up to about 390. It was the ONLY thing I thought was bad about it though.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The day was going to be so short. And.. there ARE places to live that are biking/walking distance to campus. The places close by, however, are low income hispanic neighborhoods. Not the best but not the worst either. If I get in, I'm moving into one of those neighborhoods.
