💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
If I asked a friend, what would they say is something negative about you and what is something positive/ why should we take ______?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Boonshoft med website, SDN interview feedback page, review AMCAS.
What was the most difficult question?
Where do you see yourself 10 years after medical school? I told her I wasn't sure what field I wanted to go into but that I wanted to be a practicing physician but still have time to spend with a family/kids. She responded "And.... how about something more concrete." Then I talked about wanting to work with a NPO to reach rural areas of my home country.
What impressed you positively?
Facilities are brand spanking new and pretty impressive. Anat lab has vents under tables to pull nasty Formalin smell down rather than up at your face. Medical building has plenty of study rooms, computers, and even a lounge with pool table etc.
The faculty and students were really friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
No 'teaching hospital' on site, not necessarily bad thing just different than the norm.
Dayton area near Wright state is pretty low key, nothing too special.
Got a parking ticket despite having a visitor pass in window.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Apparently there are 4-6 spots obscurely marked as Visitor spots in a random row towards the end of Lot 16. And you can ONLY park there.... and you need a visitor pass.
