💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
At one point, I was asked to recommend a book I'd recently read to my interviewer.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked over the website, prepared questions for interviewers based on what I saw, practiced discussing my research and motivations to attend Rochester in particular and med school in general...
What was the most difficult question?
Everything was pretty conversational...However, one interviewer asked, if I was a cell in the body, what type of cell would I be and why.
What impressed you positively?
The curriculum is truly outstanding -- an unprecedented amount of clinical exposure during the first two years. Also the facilities were beautiful, and I really liked everyone I met (students, faculty, and staff). As an added bonus, Rochester will fund any med student to go abroad during the summer between first and second year.
What impressed you negatively?
Maybe I drove through the wrong areas, but the City of Rochester seemed fairly depressed...Not sure how much there is to do in the area.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That there are toll booths in between the Buffalo Airport and Rochester...I was stuck having to explain to the toll guy why I didn't have 20 cents to give him.
