⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
I really felt that I should have been more impressed by Duke, because it truly was a great day. I love the curriculum, but somewhere in my gut just tells me it isn't a good fit for me. The financial aid is also generous, and the chapel and campus are beyond words.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
I was asked pretty much about everyting in my supplemental application.
What was the most interesting question?
What would you do during your third year of medical school here?
How did you prepare for the interview?
AMCAS, Read the website thoroughly (it's great), my extensive secondary (which they asked A LOT about)
What impressed you positively?
The campus is great, the hospital is nice, students are friendly, the curriculum is so unique (I'm interested in getting an MPH, which can be done DURING the third year).
What impressed you negatively?
Durham (my bus drivers both told me the crime rate was high for such a small city) and how the campus seemed a bit isolated from the city. Also, for med school it really seems like a commuter campus (you need a car - they said this in the financial aid presentation).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the airport shuttle is not in operation - the Millenium Hotel is about the only shuttle besides the expensive taxis, but you have to stay there.
