What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Do you think you can handle medical school? (asked 4-5 times in a row, answered something like this: yes, absolutely, definitely, infinitely sure I can hack it, I've survived X, Y, and Z, therefore I believe I can survive medical school...) (a test perhaps?)

in my application, he said it seemed music was as important to me as medicine, so why/how did i choose medicine...

Why do you want to come here? (asked in various ways for the first 15-20 minutes of the interview) probably important for them to ask applicants from warmer climates and big cities--totally understandable

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the safety of the town and the friendliness of the people there; they're building a new hospital

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

not really any restaurants to eat at; you eat in pubs or breweries; lots of malls with nobody in them--not a bad thing, just a surprise

Report Response | I was asked this too

i should've brought an umbrella

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

i didn't feel my interviewer was hostile towards me, in fact he was pretty nice, a sweet retired doctor/professor; i just felt i couldn't read him and could not connect; the interview also didn't move forward very well; sometimes i felt we got sidetracked for relatively long moments; i felt he didn't ask very good questions; he would mention something from my application and then stop and smile at me and i didn't know if i should just talk about it or if there was a particular question to answer; it was just an odd interview that felt very long and drawn out; i was exhausted by the end of it; i tried very hard to keep the ball rolling, but it was tough, and i usually have an easier time talking to people; the students were very nice and friendly and seemed happy to be there; i think my experience here was unusual b/c i heard from other people that they had very good interviews
