💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

did you work while attending school?
do you shampoo or use conditioner? (joke) have you done any research? Alex F.
your grades were not stellar, what happened in semester of ....?

What was the most interesting question?

Most of the questions were typical interview questions, such as why a physician? is your family supportive? waht happened in that class? no question really sticks out right now, they were all common.

What was the most difficult question?

it was hard to explain the grades, and what experiences perpetuated your desire to become a physician. I was not expecting that; in my opinion, i thought that the question that asked your reason for becoming a doctor was suffice enough.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked over my applications and the school website like everyone else, I prayed to the lord to help me speak the king james's english, because i tend to use slang, fortunately, i did'nt happen

What impressed you positively?

I liked the fact that it had a sauna and a jacuzzi i think. the recreational facilities were equipped with everything from wieghts to a punching bag. the students were down to earth, they did'nt try to hide anything. they told us that books were not needed, all the notes were given in class and on website, if needed be you can use college books for reference.

I can't think anything negative about the school, i liked it alot, i hope i get in. praise him!
