Excellent, excellent school. It was only my second interview, but I really fell in love with the place and do hope to attend here some day. Also--always, always stay with students hosts when you get the chance. Very cool people.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read brochure (learn and love their Double Helix curriculum, it really is quite awesome), read this site for advice, read a bit on health care issues.
What was the most difficult question?
How would you fix health care? (Actually the second time asked when he didn't like my answer of privatizing the whole thing and letting it be, he also informed me that America had the health care stats of some third world nations, a piece of info that shook me up a bit.)
What impressed you positively?
Beauty...beautiful buildings, beautiful campus, beautiful students, beautiful curriculum. The students knew how to have fun. No one was a jerk.
What impressed you negatively?
Pricey...the future inclement weather seems a bit foreboding (although I hear it actually isn't that big of a deal)...also the campus didn't seem too commuter friendly for someone without a car.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That my first interview would actually not be within the hospital and I had to walk outside and find an old 1950s research building to conduct it in. Also my first interview was a wopping hour and forty minutes long. There's just so much to say about health care reform.
