What are your general comments?
Over all, LSU New Orleans has a wonderful program. Many of the questions in the interview were geared toward how would one would handle the lifestyle of a being a medical student and a doctor. In addition, the hospitals that LSU New Orleans uses are both charity with 98-99% of patients seen being indigent. Thus, one can see that LSU New Orleans' interests truly lie in the students and patients--which is more than I can say for other medical schools and hospitals whose interests I sometimes question.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What is your greatest accomplishment?; What would you be if you were not a doctor?
How did you prepare for the interview?
It is all about R&R.
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was very nice and had a good sense of humor--the doctor who briefed us in the morning was wearing a WB cartoon tie. The facilities were very well maintained; but also, there are plans for additions and improvements. The new multi-million dollar student center was very impressive. Also, I have to say hats off to the student who showed us their dorm room for their interior design skills--it was most impressive. :)
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing--However, they may want to invest in upgrading the medical school's website both aesthetically and content wise. They have a really great program and it seems a shame not to have a website to match.
