💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

14 yr. old girl scenario...
biggest problem facing health care today? fix it for us...
Tell me about your experience living overseas.

What was the most interesting question?

What would you say to a fourteen year-old girl who comes to you, claiming that she is pregnant, asking for an abortion, and claiming that whe doesn't want her parents to know about her visit to your office or the abortion.

What was the most difficult question?

The above question was also the most difficult. I wish I could've given a tighter response to "What is the greatest problem faced by our health-care system today and how would you solve it?"

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my AMCAS stuff, my secondary for EVMS, everything I could find about Glennan, Jones, and Strelitz Institutes, and reviewed some algorithms for ethical decision-making.

What impressed you positively?

CHKD is definitely sweet. Students seemed, for the most part, kind and informative.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewers were completely poker-faced. I left the interview feeling like there was no way I could possibly get in after stating that abortion was morally wrong. Retroanalysis of this interview was not helpful. there were plenty of cadavers for the anatomy class. These, however, looked like they had been trashed in the learning process.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You won't NECESSARILY have a clinician interviewing you. Mine did not show up.

What are your general comments?

The area, the great surgical residency, and the breadth of opportunity for clinical experience early makes this my top choice school. My advice: be yourself; they know you're not a doc yet. Be willing to admit your faults, if you have them... (can I get an amen?)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
