💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Where have you interviewed so far?
What was the most interesting question?
First thing my interviewer said: "I got goose bumps reading your application!" Specific questions about my research.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read their website, SDN, AMCAS, research notes. Read on medical ethics quite a bit, but was never asked any ethics question.
What was the most difficult question?
None. Felt weird about being asked about all schools I have applied to.
What impressed you positively?
My interviewer knew my application very well. How friendly everyone was (from admissions staff to students to interviewer). Great atmosphere. The tour was really nice and the students seemed to answer questions very honestly. Student lounge was cool.
What impressed you negatively?
The overwhelming formaldehyde odor at the anatomy lab. I know it's supposed to be like that, but this lab's odor is the worst I have been to so far.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Beautiful campus. Not so far from NYC (about 2:30 hours by train). You need a car if you want to go there.
