No responses

What was the most interesting question?

Tell me about your research; Have you ever had to give someone bad news, what did you do and how did you handle it?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

The most difficult question was, "If you were in a group of people and someone said something offensive, how would you handle it?" The ethical questions they tend to ask are ones that are realistic situations, rather than euthanasia or anything, and they want to 'see you think on your feet'.

How did you prepare for the interview?

newspapers, SDN, went over my personal statement; I didn't think it was really the kind of thing you could 'prepare' for per se. **They do indeed administer a 10 min. essay on a topic; ours was on our favorite family vacation.**

What impressed you negatively?

The anatomy lab was really crowded; the campus is small; UB does not have its own 'medical center', but a network of hospitals in which students complete their rotations.

What are your general comments?

Good interview experience. I was impressed with the social atmosphere. They tried to make it as painless as possible. My interviewer actually said, you've done the hard work to get here, so we don't think this needs to be stressful. UB is a really nice place.
