What was the most difficult question?

What is the biggest problem with healthcare? How should we fix it? And if that doesn't work? And if that doesn't work?.......She just kept asking until there was nothing else to say. She also answered three phone calls during the intervies, which were just casual calls and really unprofessional.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

IF YOU HAVE AN ACCEPTANCE TO ANOTHER SCHOOL, DO NOT BOTHER GOING TO THIS INTERVIEW. The interviewer was rude and condescending and the location is horrible. Believe me, I went there with an open mind, but was really disappointed. Also, the student interviewer told me to go to the school that I was already accepted and he did not seem very happy there. Also, the PIL and IFM students seem to not like each other's programs. And last but not least, COST.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had called the admissions office and asked about the grading system when I was deciding to interview and was told it is honors, pass, fail. When we were there, we found out it is a 5 tiered system. Also, the students are sent out to locations all over the state for 3rd and 4th year, which makes school more difficult.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

If you have a female psychiatrist interview you, who also coordinates some academic programs, expect a rude interview. The other student who interviewed with her, had the same experience that I did.
