💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about your university and why you decided to pick that school. (I attended a very small private school that most people haven't heard of.)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, ate a hamburger for dinner the night before, and watched funny Youtube videos to calm myself down. Also read over my AMCAS and previous publications.
What was the most difficult question?
What would you be if I told you that you could never get into medical school and you could not reapply?
What impressed you positively?
Everything. The students were so friendly, happy, and well rounded. Facilities were great, the simulation even had a delivery simulator! Faculty seemed extremely supportive of students and very committed to building the next generation of physicians.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing. Parts of New Orleans are run down, so that was sad, but the students are quite involved in rebuilding houses for the local population (on weekends), which I thought was really awesome.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That interview shoes are a real drag to walk in.
