⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Two great interviews! The interviewers did more talking than other interviews. Very friendly, lots of questions about my research and my study abroad (in a 3rd world country), lots of trying to sell the school. Not as many of the broad, open questions ("tell me about yourself") - instead, more specific, somewhat easier or at least more interesting questions ("what first sparked your interest?,")
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What do you anticipate as the greatest challenges in your career in medicine? What would be a nightmare experience with a doctor for you?
What was the most interesting question?
Explain your research to me as if i were in seventh grade.
How did you prepare for the interview?
This site, 8th interview so not much prep
What was the most difficult question?
Question based on book we had both read about cultural differences affecting medical care.
What impressed you positively?
Fin. aid is INCREDIBLE. Program *really* encourages you to pursue interests.
What impressed you negatively?
I guess facilities, but they were perfectly acceptable
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The MSOB, where you meet for your interview, is NOT in, or even very near the medical school. Get directions there, and not to the medical school building.
