How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application (AMCAS and secondary)--both my interviewers knew my application inside and out, so I am glad I did this.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The recreation center is awesome. The children's unit in the hospital is neat, too.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

It is a Catholic school, so they don't teach certain medical procedures (not just abortions). I feel like I want to be taught how to do everything, and then I can choose on my own whether or not to perform certain procedures. It seems that by not teaching some procedures they are short-changing their students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would be on my own for a lot of the day. I had to find my interviewers offices on my own, which were in completely different buildings, which was fine, but it didn't seem as personable as other schools where you are given more personal contact and guidance.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

My first interviewer was a PhD, and I think he had issues with that because he criticized MDs for thinking they are better than PhDs and for being condescending. He also ripped into my engineering background, and he asked a lot of questions that didn't seem relevant to determining my qualifications for admittance or capability as a potential physician. He was discouraging, but I held my ground and said what I felt and thought, and I think in the end he respected that. My second interviewer was an MD who was close to retiring, and he was very nice and asked questions that were easy to answer because they involved talking about myself and my experiences.
