💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

tell me about yourself (I got this at both interviews...and it's one of the hardest questions to get started on answering).
what do you think of pass/fail?
what kind of support system will you have when you are here?

What was the most interesting question?

the questions were pretty standard, straight out of my application.

What was the most difficult question?

my first interviewer was a little intense. he pulled things out of my application that were out of context and basically tried to have me prove to him why i should be accepted to chicago despite these things.

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, talked a lot to myself the night before the interview.

What impressed you positively?

the school's attitude towards its students and the philosophy towards teaching them to be good doctors. i hadn't really considered u of chicago too much before going to the interview and after i left, it had climbed to the top of my list.

What impressed you negatively?

my first interviewer seemed distracted and a bit aggressive. i had heard that the interviews were very relaxed (and appartently everyone else who interviewed had a great time), so this was a bit of a surprise. i still felt ok about the interview and it didn't detract at all from the excellent impression the school made on me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

wish i had known more about u of chicago before i filled out my secondary, just to stress all the points where i felt i fit in very well with the school, but when you are applying to 15+ schools, it's really hard to make such an effort towards each one.

What are your general comments?

this is a great school. if not for the price tag, it would be the one at the to of my list. during the course of the day, the staff and students do an amazing job of communicating the school's philosophy towards learning and the experiences of the students. my second interview went really well. the student asked good questions and gave great feedback.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
