What are your general comments?
Overall, a nice day. I wish the interview went better because the doctor I interviewed with really didn't ask me questions. She talked about her experiences and the experiences of people she knew. But seeing that she only had 5 minutes to review my file, I guess that makes sense. The students were great. I enjoyed speaking to them and I think they were honest.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a doctor?
What was the most interesting question?
Not many interesting questions unfortunately. I brought the doctor my file, so she had 5 minutes to look it over. She really did not know much about me. She spoke most of the time. I wonder how she will be able to evaluate me???
How did you prepare for the interview?
Student Doctor Network. Kept up on medical issues in the news
What impressed you positively?
Sutdent were great! Diverse, honest, friendly. I could really see myself as one of them. Dorms were wonderful. Food wasn't bad. I got to sit in on a lecture and that was great too.
What impressed you negatively?
The Bronx is.... well, the Bronx. No frills. Definitely the type of people I want to work with, but I couldn't see myself taking a jog around the block. They are so proud of the gym but I don't really understand why.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
There are lots of hospitals in the Bronx area that are affiliated with Albert Einstein. They have an interest in creating a diverse class of students, but there are many orthodox jews.
