Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Your friend is unknowingly dating a girl that you know to be positive for an STD. What do you do? (I felt this was pretty cut and dry because I felt it was an issue of protecting public health, so I answered that I talk to the girl privately about telling my friend about her diagnosis and that if she refused I would have to resort to telling my friend to protect himself. I think the interviewer didn't like the conclusion I came to and for the rest of the interview the interviewer was cold and distant.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

For the second year in a row my student interviewer was late (the previous year he didn't even bother to show up and I was interviewed by someone that "had some time"). As mentioned above, my interviewer seemed to take personal offense to my answer and became very distant and uninterested. There was a two hour break between my first and second interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Knowing the right people at this school is a huge part of the getting in, regardless of a pathetically low GPA and MCAT scores.
