💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How you describe yourself? What are three of your strengths? What is one of your weaknesses? Name a time when you have failed. This interview was also very pleasant though- very conversational!

Report Response | I was asked this too

Pick an issue that you have special knowledge in or have a particularly strong opinion on. I think this guy just wanted to sit an argue about something, and we did: all about healthcare. This was my only slightly irritating experience the entire day; luckily, I'm used to people who like to argue for the sake of arguing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

Where do I see myself in 10 years? Most (95%) of the questions related to what I put on my application; this interview was more like a conversation than an interview- extremely enjoyable!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

If you could only pick one of the following issues to address, which would it be: prescription drugs for senior citizens, HIV drugs for countries that cannot afford them, or the cost of luxury drugs?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

How many Americans are currently living without health insurance? (This from the guy who told me that he was going to be my easiest interviewer! Needless to say, he was far from it.)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone associated with the school seemed great; they really make me feel welcome and comfortable.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

That I only got to talk to two current students, and they were fourth years. Interviewees had very little contact with current students- which struck me as odd.
