⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
No change 😐
What was the stress level of the interview?
7 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Both interviews were straight-forward. One of my interviewers seemed pretty green and didn't know much about the application or interview process. I learned later that the class was already full when I interviewed. I was waitlisted and then subsequently admitted.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing particularly interesting, just standard interview questions about my background and interest in medicine.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interviews, read up on current issues in healthcare.
What impressed you positively?
The Director of Admissions, Mr. Larkin. He's honest, straight-forward and forthcoming. The transplant facility. Efficiency and availability of the Admissions staff. Also, Mr. Larkin calls all interviewees 10 days after the interview with the adcom's decision.
What impressed you negatively?
Classrooms. One of my interviewers. Military recruiter presentations. Dean Ackerman -- seems like a "ladies-man" and kept referring to one of the other interviewees as his "lunch date". He could have been just kidding around, but I thought it was in bad taste.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I should have worn my Sharon Stone Basic Instinct outfit. hehe
