Actually I think that it went fairly well and I walked out with a more positive attitude than I would have thought.
💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

If you could interview any living person outside of Bin Laden and Bush, who would it be?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked with previous interviewees, read about the school...

What was the most difficult question?

Relate to me a time when you feel as though you didn't act as you necessarily should have, or that you let someone down. Tell me a time when you had to deliver bad news. Why do you think the number of male applicants to med school are declining (what?!)?

What impressed you positively?

The direction that the new curriculum is going, definately positive

What impressed you negatively?

The structure of the interview. I understand the reason behind having everyone on an even playing field but didn't feel as though I was able to answer all of the questions without sitting down and thinking about some of them for a long period of time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I already knew this but make sure that you are ready for the "pop essay"!!
