💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How would one of your friends describe you?

What was the most interesting question?

If there was one moment in my life that I could relive (good or bad) what would it be? Why?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Spoke to Mayo med students and perused the website.

What was the most difficult question?

If a physician fits my definition of professionalism (which I had defined previously), but is an alcoholic and beats his wife, is he still a professional?

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely nice and supportive. The students were enthusiastic and the facilities were the best that I have seen. Specialist at the Mayo Clinic come to the anatomy lab and assist students on the part of the body that they know best. "Mini" rotations in the second year, and all rotations are one on one.

What impressed you negatively?

There is no PBL, and on some days there is class from 8-11am and then 1-5pm. Mayo is in Rochester, MN, and there are very few extracurricular activities to do there. It is also very very cold.
