What are your general comments?
My first interviewer was great. No ethic questions. He seemed genuinely interested in my personal background, family, and asked questions which mostly pertained to issues related to my personal statement. He was really interested in me as an applicant. I was expecting to be interviewed by a student for my second interview, but instead, it was a basic science faculty member along + a 3rd year student. Wasn't prepared for a 2 on 1... Maybe they've caught on to SDN so they are switching formats?
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Describe to me the most memorable patients that you've come across in your volunteer/research experience.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, AMC website, supp app, etc.
What was the most difficult question?
What is one class that you wish you didn't take in college?
What impressed you positively?
I was skeptical, but it's true! Everyone is impossibly nice. I found this to be true at the hotel that I stayed at, the restaurant, the cab drivers, must be an Albany thing.
What impressed you negatively?
Didn't get the chance to see student housing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The lack of ethnic diversity at the school. I can count the number of minorities that I encountered during my visit on one hand.
