💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
The blood transfusion question - everything else I was asked was pretty standard.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Talked to students already in the program, SDN, and did a mock interview.
What was the most difficult question?
None of the questions were difficult - they genuinely seemed to want to know more about me as a person.
What impressed you positively?
The Case Based Learning session - it was a lot of fun!
What impressed you negatively?
The campus tour wasn't what I was expecting. It was at the end of the day and the medical students giving the tour didn't really seem into it. I've already seen the campus but if I hadn't, I think it would've turned me off from the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Not to be so nervous about the interview.
