⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The interview itself was pretty relaxed and purely conversational until the last fifteen minutes or so when my interviewer realized that he had a page full of questions that he had not asked and started spitting them out one-by-one. Although the interview itself was fine, but nothing special, the overall visit to the campus was enjoyable. The admissions staff and students are very friendly. They love UVM and seem to have a relatively laid back attitude on life.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about a time when you used empathy.
What was the most interesting question?
What do you think of medical ethics? (I'm not quite sure how I was supposed to answer this one . . . they're good?)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read website, mock interview
What was the most difficult question?
What is the most creative thing you've ever done.
What impressed you positively?
How friendly, happy, and laid back the students seemed, yeet they still do well on their boards and in residency placement.
What impressed you negatively?
Burlington is smaller than I thought and there is not much of a "metropolitan area." It's kind of funny that UVM considers Maine Medical Center in Portland, ME to be their "urban" hospital. I'm not sure what I think about the new curriculum either.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The dry cleaners at home gave me someobody else's suit, and there are very few stores open before 10:00 am to buy or rent formal wear.
