What was the most interesting question?

What do you think of the current AIDS crisis in Africa?

What was the most difficult question?

Suppose you have a patient with bacterial meningitis that can only be treated with penicillin. If you don't treat him within the next 12 hours, he will die. But you call his parents and they say that you can treat him as long as you don't give him penicillin because he is severely allergic. What do you do?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my secondary, looked at their brochure.

What impressed you positively?

Washington, DC and the surrounding neighborhoods and the school's commitment to clinical teaching.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour--it lasted barely 20 minutes and we didn't even get to see their hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That we would be spending close to three hours in in a small room with uncomfortable chairs.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was positive. My interviewer seemed to not listen to my answers to his questions because he kept asking me to explain everything further, even when I initially gave very detailed answers. But he didn't try to stress me out and asked basic questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
