💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself (your background, research, activities, etc., etc.) from begining to end and the events to brought you here today.

Report Response | I was asked this too

The last question one interviewer asked was: I want you to summarize in one line what I should tell the admissions committee about you. I don't want you to go home and kick yourself because you didn't say everything you came to say, so this is your opportunity.

Report Response | I was asked this too

When you said [fill in the blank] on your essay, what did you mean? (This question was asked multiple times as the interviewer translated my responses into something he could present to the admissions committee.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing - questions were typical but always led to side conversations about me, my background, experiences, challenges, and successes. It was completely conversational; very laid back, very getting-to-know-you. My take is that the school genuinely wants to get to know you. The interviewers are there to figure out what kind of person you are so the admissions committee can decide whether you would be successful in Yale's unique program.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Again, nothing, because the conversation just flowed rather easily and was based on my applications.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read brochure, AMCAS, secondary, and interview feedback. Talked to friends who've gone through this process.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The number one thing is the enthusiasm of the student body. They honestly, genuinely *love* Yale. The curriculum is awesome, but the students were what closed the deal for me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I'm from California, so the snow storm the day I got there was a downer.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, really. I went to Yale for my undergrad so I knew my way around the city. Stay at the Colony, because it's the closest hotel to the medical school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

After this, Yale is my first choice. I don't even feel like going to my other interviews, though that would probably not be the wisest course of action.
