💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

No responses

What was the most interesting question?

You are covering for a doctor in a pain clinic. He thinks a patient is faking back pain in order to continue receiving narcotics. He wants to give her a placebo. Ok, now I'm the patient... "My pain is really bad today. Are you just going to give me the Demerol like usual?"

What was the most difficult question?

What is culturally sensitive medicine? (Good thing I had just finished "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down")

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer was way cool, and was impressed by me :D

What impressed you negatively?

I wasn't as thrilled with the school as I thought I would be. Just didn't click as well as I anticipated. But I'm not sure if that's enough of a detractor from the fact that I like their relatively traditional curriculum and the area is decent.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That AMCAS calculated my GPA wrong!! I found out during the interview that it's significantly lower than what's on my transcript and what they had previously verified it to be. And now I have to go through the hell of dealing with AMCAS at the last second. Maybe that's why I didn't get interview invites to some of my favorite schools... :(

What are your general comments?

I think I was feeling a bit burned out at this interview. I was *very* tired and almost fell asleep during the financial aid presentation. I didn't get pumped until I was already sitting down and talking with the interviewer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
