⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
No change 😐
What was the stress level of the interview?
3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The interviews are closed file, so the they don't know ANYTHING
about you...be prepared for that. My interviewers were great.
One was a 4th year student and the other a practicing
physician in the hospital. They made me feel comfortable and
I really didn't get any ethical questions (thank god!).
The only problem was that the interviews were disorganized.
My original interviewer didn't meet with me, so I had to run
to the other end of the hospital to meet with another guy,
for whom I had to wait about 30 min to speak with (it
turned out well for me though!).
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
other than the two mentioned above...
"What do you regret?"
What was the most interesting question?
If you were attending a party, what would you bring that would
be original and interesting?
How did you prepare for the interview?
reading studentdoctor.net, reading up on the school, other
interviews :)
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about yourself? (so vague...hard to know what they
want to hear!).
What impressed you positively?
The admissions office staff, the students, the hospital, my
interviewers.
What impressed you negatively?
the campus and surrounding areas. I had to park like a million
miles away from were the interview was, and then walk (in 90
degree weather).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I would have eaten more breakfast! There is a lot of
walking on the tour, really make sure you were comfortable
shoes!
