Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10

What are your general comments?

I think the interview went really well. My interviewer basically said I wouldn't have any trouble getting in, which was nice to hear, especially since Wayne State was one of my top choices.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How have you dealt with failure?

What was the most interesting question?

What nationality is your last name? (Turns out my last name was a common one in my interviewer's home country--this led to a very nice, non-medical conversation.)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read NY Times Healthcare-related articles, read this website, went over practice questions, reviewed my application material and Wayne State material

What was the most difficult question?

Tell me about yourself.

What impressed you positively?

The broad range of clinical experiences you'd get in an inner city hospital; How nice that area of Detroit was. How they gave me a coupon for a free drink in the cafeteria while I waited.

What impressed you negatively?

The complete lack of information given to you at interview day. All you do is have one interview and take a tour with students. No curriculum presentation, nothing on financial aid.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing comes to mind...
