It was a great experience. UConn's a very caring place!
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Uhm...I don't really remember...he asked about my Phil major..the student asked a lot about my application...
What was the most interesting question?
Describe the process by which you ended up in this room (ie; the interviewer's room)...it was a nice change from "Why do you want to be a doctor"?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Sadly...I didn't do anything. But that wasn't a bad thing. They tell you lots about the school, so there's plenty to ask about. And I knew my application well.
What was the most difficult question?
What do you think about Affirmative Action policies?
What impressed you positively?
The amount of community service and ethics that are integrated into UConn's curriculum. Also, how happy the students are.
What impressed you negatively?
Honestly? Nothing. It's a really great place.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had known about that Q/A session. Here's something helpful: If you have part of your interview at the Exchange (like someone in my group did), call x2143 for a shuttle. ALSO....eat breakfast. You won't eat till 1:30pm....I got hungry during my second interview
