💬 Interview Questions
What was the most interesting question?
The most interesting aspect was that the interviewers seemed to have been matched to the interviewees - my interviewers had both been nontraditional students at the school, and stayed on for residency and as faculty. Another girl said she was a psych major who was paired with a psychologist, and two Asian students were paired with VietNamese interviewers.
What was the most difficult question?
There weren't any real questions - it was all conversation.
