💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What was the most memorable thing to happen in my life
What was the most interesting question?
Do i know why schools discourage post-bac work?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Studentdoctor.net, going over secondaries and AMCAS essays. Also, I was taking a class on current medical issues, and that helped with one essay.
What was the most difficult question?
What would I do as a career if i don't get into medicine (I hadn't prepared an answer)
What impressed you positively?
It may sound trite, but the happiness of the students was completely out of this world. Maybe they are hiding the sad ones, but everyone i saw was digging it. Also, the sandwiches were good!
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really, the tours were a little a little haphazard, but that's ok because they were led by 4th year students, so i liked that I didn't feel i had to impress anyone during that time. Just be myself.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The tour at the end was optional, and i could have left an hour early without it hurting.
