2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Good overall experience. I had an interview with a faculty member and a student. Both were mostly closed file (student was completely blind and faculty only had personal statement). We also had a tour and lunch with some 3rd year students. My day ended at 3:30PM.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How did you come to your decision to pursue medicine?
What was the most interesting question?
How did the role in your family prepare you for a career in medicine? (Nothing too interesting or crazy...)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Relaxed, talked to people, read information.
What impressed you positively?
The simulation lab, the students, and people. Pitt is doing some great things!
What impressed you negatively?
The tour was not the best, and the structure of the day could have been a little better.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the day does not start until 8:30AM, and my day was done much earlier than expected. My information asked me to arrive by 8AM, and not to schedule a flight until after 6PM.
