💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why did you take the MCAT twice?
What was the most interesting question?
I see you've traveled the world, tell me about that.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I didn't prepare too much. I found lists of potential questions from various sources and rehearsed how I might answer them.
What impressed you positively?
The friendliness of Andre and Dean Venson. The willingness of the 1st year students to answer a million questions and share their contact info (they eat lunch with you).
What impressed you negatively?
The rain. Lol! The location initially turned me off, but over time I have found that it's really not that bad. It's right on the edge of the "nice part" of East Bay.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the travel time from San Francisco took much longer than expected. Give yourself an extra 30 mins if you're taking the BART because the shuttle is a rate-limiting factor I didn't foresee.
