Report Response | I was asked this too

2nd interview was w/a psychiatrist, and it was an in-depth analysis of my personal statement. (i had used a big analogy as the theme for my statement, and we discussed it in depth). you seem to differentiate b/w a "job" and a "career;" can you tell me how you see them differently?

How did you prepare for the interview?

read over their website TONS (they have a unique curriculum and 'yale system' you should know thoroughly before interviewing), read over my app/essays

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

uh, it's YALE! the facilities were great, the campus is beautiful, the curriculum is really amazing, diverse student body.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

i really wish we could have seen the hospital. parts of new haven are sketchy, but i think every town has its sketchy parts.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

we wouldn't get to see the hospital. the incredible amount of time/energy devoted to community service.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

i had a GREAT day, yale really impressed me. i even liked new haven. do NOT apply to yale if you don't feel you can thrive in a self-motivated environment, because there are no grades or exams in the first two years. also, do NOT apply here if you don't want to do research, there's a thesis requirement. students seemed really cool and friendly. lots from top-tiered undergrad institutions. the day moved yale up to my top choice.
