Interview Practice Questions

What impressed you positively?

A medical student was one of my interviewers and he had lots of positive things to say about the school and program.

What impressed you negatively?

My second interviewer was a retired physician and seemed very unprepared for the interview (i.e. didn't bring my physical application with him and didn't prepare questions ahead of time/kept admitting that he didn't know what to ask me). He also had some off-putting things to say about my essays regarding DEI and disparities/inequities in healthcare. Overall, a very bad impression that didn't seem to align at all with the values and mission of the school.
