💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

this was a question i didn't get, but one of the other applicants was asked and i thought it was pretty interesting: "Say the US has universal health care, and you are a physician with a patient who requires very expensive treatment which MIGHT prolong his life for a certain period that you don't know--do you continue to give the treatment even though doing so will keep others from receiving treatment due to the limit to the amount of money you can spend?"

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

i didn't really have an most interesting question, but some ethics questions were: "would you give a blood transfusion to a jehovah's witness who told you not to, but gave permission for surgery, and then you found yourself in surgery and the patient needed a transfusion to survive?" "where do you draw the line between euthanasia and letting someone die peacefully--i.e.--would you take a feeding tube away from someone in a persistant vegetative state if the family wanted it?"

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the students--even after the whole day was over and i was waiting for my ride, a 2nd year student came into the "fishbowl" just to talk to me and another applicant--i thought it was a nice gesture, and he was very excited about the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really--the tour could have been better, i guess, and the cost of tuition is pretty depressing, but i knew about that ahead of time.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was pretty impressed by the experience--you will probably hear a lot about Ms. Sullivan's speech--it is very inspiring and i like the fact that GU takes a very different approach than other med schools--they tell you about the school's philosophy and ask you to decide for yourself whether it is the right program for you. As for the interview--i had a really nice doctor as my interviewer and he seemed genuinely interested in finding out about me and where i had come from, what I was looking for in a school, and my views on ethical subjects. I wasn't nervous at all and had a great time.
