What was the most difficult question?

None--really. I was expecting many difficult questions, but was surprised that all of them were relatively "easy." They asked a lot about health care problems and reform.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The kindness of the interviewers. I was honestly expecting three cold, stone-faced interviewers. What I found was that they were extremely accomodating and understanding. They made sure not to get too emotional during the interview, but they were not cold or confrontational by any means.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tour wasn't too interesting--just classrooms,etc. Didn't get to see any labs--tour guide was kind of an interesting person.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview wouldn't be so stressful.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I felt like I overprepared myself way too much. I do have friends, however, that have interviewed there recently and they had the "confrontational" interview. So, I guess it really depends on who the interviewers were. The school has so many programs in place for their students the get early clinical experience and ample exposure to rural, primary care. It was a great experience.
