⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

I had a great experience. The student body was very diverse in age and in life experiences. The interviewers were, yes old, but nice and just wanted to get to know me. They didn't try to trick me and they had both really read through my personal statement and essays. They were very prepared and the interviews were personal, not scary.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What did I get out of specific experiences I had written about in my essays.

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing that out of the blue...I guess the best and worst/hardest thing I had to go through in my life

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on the school, mock interview, ethics reading

What was the most difficult question?

What was the best experience/moment in your life?

What impressed you positively?

The mentor program they have with the physicians. I can't remember the name of the program, but you get paired with a Dr. your first week and you get to be them for three years. You can switch docs if you'd like though, and it seems to be a very hands on learning experience.

What impressed you negatively?

The switching of the campuses. I think the new one will be great, and I really don't think the current is bad, but it will be hard to try and be on two campuses at once. Also, there's no student housing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The touring of both campuses was really long and my feet killed...wear comfortable shoes.
