What are your general comments?
Very good interview experience. My interviewer really made me feel comfortable. The interview was at the hospital which is a 20 minute walk so be prepared. The surrouding aren't the greatest and the school is composed of the dorms and a couple of buildings. Everyone was nice and helpful, especially the admissions staff. Generally a low stress interview, just be prepared to talk about yourself:)
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What field of medicine interests you? How do i feel about our healthcare system?
What was the most interesting question?
You just completed your first surgery which was a success. The patient is doing well and ready to go home the next day. The nurse comes up to you and tells you she has checked and double-checked and she is positive you have left an instrument in the patient (who is the president of Malpractice insurance) what do you do?:)
How did you prepare for the interview?
read through the school website, updated myself on current events, had an outline of what i wanted to say for the main questions, went over my application, the norm....
What was the most difficult question?
None really...the first half of the interview was more like a conversation about stuff in my application..the rest was just talking about our healthcare system, what would i do if i didn't get in, how did i feel about the sept. 11th events, how did my family feel about my decision to go into medicine...but no stress just talking.
What impressed you positively?
the ease of the interview, the dorms were great...
What impressed you negatively?
the area...being in the bronx, there's no pretty campus and not much going on directly around the school...when they said it was in a middle-class area that was a stretch..also the cafe is strictly kosher and the school shuts down from friday to sunday including the library.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
the interview is very low key..don't stress!! Also don't don't expect much out of the day...all you do is interview, eat, small tour and that's it!! Stay with a host, it's easier:)
