💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

all questions were about random things like why there are no T cells in the epidermis (i gave no indication i had any immunological background.
have you never read lizst's biography on mozart? otherwise you would *understand* the pain behind the music. sheesh.
see above for difficult questions. my cognitive psych guy did much more talking than me, analyzing my hand motions and my body positioning.

What was the most interesting question?

ok, i got interviewed by a cognitive psychiatrist and a psyco immunologist. none of the questions were "interesting." and many of them were confrontational.

What was the most difficult question?

can you tell me what the primary antigen presenting cell is in the skin? exactly why do you not like mahler's music (the guy was already angry w/me for not liking mozart's early piano sonatas)?

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read over my app, SDN, the school's website. i just "lucked out" with interviews that really weren't about my preparation for medicine.

What impressed you positively?

the students were really happy to be there and really willing to talk to you.

What impressed you negatively?

the facilities. the attitute of the two people who interviewed me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the 3rd interview is a "working lunch," meaning you eat lunch w/a student and it's also an interview. good luck trying to eat thru that one!

What are your general comments?

yeesh. this was ridiculous. i guess it was just my experience, though. i think i may have done a whole 10 minutes of actually talking about my life in the two interviews combined. and one of the guys was a stand-in because they had screwed up our scheduling for that day, so they had to find me a different interviewer or something to that effect. the city/hospital there would be a great, diverse place to learn good clinical medicine, but the day just really rubbed me the wrong way and left me stressed out.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
