💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
what is your motivation for going into medicine?
What was the most interesting question?
Interviewer: "The students asked me to make sure to ask this question in the interview. 'Make sure you ask ___ of the interviewee,' they said. So, I'm asking you. What's the '___' they wanted me to ask? If you guess it right, you only have to answer this question. If you guess wrong, you have to answer your own question AND answer the correct question."
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN interview feedback, website, and listened intently during the presentations (prior to interview).
What was the most difficult question?
if you were asked to give a presentation to premeds to persuade them to NOT go to medical school, what would be the 5 most important factors you would talk about. then, given those 5 factors, why did YOU decide to go to med school?
What impressed you positively?
the students. my student hosts--UNBELIEVABLE. the school's got such nice people. and there's a note taking service for the class-attendence-ly challenged. very nice.
What impressed you negatively?
the school seems...small. and very expensive. and there's no on campus housing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
that all the hype about the school being supra-conservative is really not true. the school seems fairly open-minded; they are only guaranteeing that conservatism to people who seek it. those who don't are free to do as they please.
