💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Faculty: Basic stuff about my experiences. Why medicine? What are you looking for in a medical school? Do you really think early clinical experiences make better doctors? Note: This was supposed to be an open file interview, but my interviewer either hadn't read my file or was pretending (s)he hadn't. Very hard to read reactions, asked me some questions that I felt were just testing me.
