Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

The interviewer asking me when I got to Tulane (I spent the weekend there); the interviewer telling me how I clearly didn't value the school because I didn't spend more than a few days there (I was a full time student) and that I was just wasting everyone's time by even being there.

What was the most difficult question?

I asked the interviewer about the research opps. at the school, and the interviewer said I didn't know anything about the school and should not be there and was just wasting anyone's time because there's no research at Tulane.

What impressed you positively?

My student interviewer was a nice relieve from the rest of the day. HATED TULANE.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

EVERYTHING. Admins weren't involved in interview day (we were shown some admins via video). Highly elitist attitude (everyone I met was white and people at Tulane-- including admin--kept talking about how they were saving the "indigent" people and referred to NOLA as the third world (NOLA is mainly black). Students seemed SUPER stressed; admitted that few volunteering opps. existed (although they were supposed to do a certain # of hours every semester); students kept talking about drinking; students admitted to the school not having that many resources and so not being able to do that much; the med school shares NOLA with another med school on the very same street; their main hospital (Charity) has been closed; my faculty interviewer seemed super racist and told me to leave in 5 minutes after asking me questions that mainly pertained to my race and no questions whatsoever that related to why I wanted to be a doctor or medical experiences (I reported my experience to AAMC anonymously-- and the white male who interviewed after me had a SUPER different and friendly experience as opposed to my interviewer asking me illegal questions); my student interviewer was super nice, but had the attitude of why would you want to come here? My interviewer told me there were no research opps. (although I wonder if this is true).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That reading about Tulane on SDN and online was incredibly misleading from what I saw and experienced in person (in a very bad way).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I hated Tulane and the admissions can certainly put in a LOTTTTTT more effort to not come off as racist and detached from the whole process. Several people left my interview day with the attitude they'd never attend here.
