⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Very informative, and very low stress. No pressure. Be sure to come up with some questions to ask at the one hour intro session in the morning. Also, I had a really bad experience with the Airport Shuttle, so if you are taking it be sure you have a back up plan.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to come to Tulane?
What was the most interesting question?
So you did well on your MCATs and took very few science courses...how did you do that?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read website, booklet...Also, I stayed with a medical student. I definately recommend this. Not only was she able to show me the city but I got a flavor for the class.
Be sure to read over your secondary, it has a few specific quesitons that you may be asked about IF you interview with Dr. Pisano (Dean of Admissions). He is the only one who does open-file interviews.
What was the most difficult question?
They were all pretty laid back, but probably when the interviewer wanted to know about how my clinical experiences influenced by choice of specialty.
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was so open to talking and even though I was there during exam week, they were all nice and not too stressed out.
What impressed you negatively?
Downtown New Orleans, where the school is, can be described as "interesting". The quarter is cool and Uptown (where a lot of students live) is nice. But downtown is kinda old and dirty.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Just how different the city is from anywhere else. Like the student I was staying with said "it is a whole different world down here"
