💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

No responses

What was the most interesting question?

I was asked mostly questions that had to do with my clinical experience. Probably no one other than myself would find that very interesting. I was glad they asked me questions specific to me. The read my file which is more than I can say at other interviews I've been on

What was the most difficult question?

What would I do if I couldn't get into medical school. It was difficult because I rarely allow such negative thoughts creep into my thinking. I probably sounded studpid in answering it.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my secondary application and some of the postings on this site.

What impressed you positively?

From the moment Dr. Haight, Dean of Admissions, met us at the hotel until at the very end when we walked us to the shuttle to take us back, I felt that he really wanted me and the others to do well. He is so refreshingly honest. No BS and I love that. One of the people interviewing with my group brought her father. Dr. Haight couldn't have been more hospitable. He invited him to tour with our group and even join us for when we had lunch. I overheard the father tell Dr. Haight how much it meant to him to be included. He wasn't my dad, but I almost cried when I heard what he said.

What impressed you negatively?

I was told to dress warm because the San Francisco area can be really cold. It must have been a 100 degrees that day. Fortunately the buildings are air conditioned, but I was hoping for some famous Frisco fog.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Two in my group who interviewed said they flew into Oakland Airport and described an experience with a lot less hassel than I had by flying into the San Francisco Airport.

What are your general comments?

Everything that has been said out Dr. Haight is true and more. I've seen better facilities, but not a better anatomy lab anywhere. The students I talked to love the school and the teachers were friendly. I hope I get accepted. We are suppose to know within 10 workdays according to Dr. Haight.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
