What are your general comments?
Do not be afraid of the program's youth or the "primary care focus." I don't think either of these things will hold anyone back at Quinnipiac.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
As a medical student, you walk into a patient's room to do a history & physical. The patient is pregnant and you smell cigarette smoke. How would you handle the situation?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed AMCAS and secondary essays. Went over some basic interview questions, especially "Why medicine" and "Why Netter." Make sure to research the program well, as they will ask you multiple times why you are interested in the school and they definitely are looking for "good fit" candidates.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me something about you, not on your application, that you would like me to use to present you to the admissions committee.
What impressed you positively?
Everything! I loved the school. Faculty and students were EXTREMELY nice and friendly. It was obvious that the faculty and administration really care about the students' success and happiness. Facilities are brand new and beautiful, strong focus on a primary care foundation but NOT overbearingly so, significant early clinical exposure through the Medical Student Home (MeSH program), the list goes on.
What impressed you negatively?
Not quite negative, but there are obvious concerns with a new program - they have not graduated a class, matched, or even had 4th year students yet. However, I am not worried after hearing about the program.
Location is quiet and somewhat isolated/boring, but not too far from NYC or Boston.
