💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

No question. Both interviewers asked me what I had to ask them. When they did ask questions they were not interesting-neither interviewer whas attended medical school and one was actually a professor at the public health school, not for a medical school course.

How did you prepare for the interview?

web-site research, talking to other students, previous interviews.

What was the most difficult question?

Probably: do you have any questions for me? because neither of the interviewers could answer my questions which had to do with the student body and in-class experiences.

What impressed you positively?

How close all of the hospitals are to the many medical schools in that area of Boston and the fact that the med school was in the middle of Boston not Medford.

What impressed you negatively?

The students I talked to (3 young men)One approached me only because my last name was middle eastern. Two were out-right rude though I managed to maintain a 1 hr conversationwith them while I waited to have my interview. What do they feed these kids?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The atmosphere seemed abnormally competitive, but I can't say i got to find out anything about the classes or rankings or exams or learning process from any of the people I talked to.
