How did you prepare for the interview?

This was my fourth interview by this point so I didn't prepare too heavily, just read this page and reviewed my "why medicine" statement

What impressed you positively?

The first admissions man who spoke was very passionate about his love for the school.

What impressed you negatively?

To begin, the admissions man who gave the opening welcome said "we have all kinds of students here, Catholic, Hindu Christian, Muslim" - to imply Catholics aren't Christians just felt super off, and I'm not even Catholic! He had a lot of passion for the school but struggled to convey anything about the school itself and mainly just talked about sports, hiking, and low crime. The process felt very casual and disheveled. I have gone to and loved other casual, friendly interviews but this felt almost too casual. Then my one-on-one interviewer seemed totally disinterested in what I said, and he was cleaning his ear out with his finger most of the time. He had the camera sat up so I could only see half of his face. I would start a sentence with " At X school of medicine, I completed research" and he would interrupt me to ask "what school?" or "have you ever done research". He kept asking if I had any questions about immunology, his field, but I didn't as I have not yet taken that class. Any non-immunology questions I asked he just told me to ask admissions. After 14 minutes of his reading questions off a sheet of paper, the interview concluded.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I have gone on 4 other interviews and have acceptances from them so I don't think I'm a terrible interviewer lol. I tried really hard to give interesting answers to his questions but he made no follow up comments, just started reading the next question off a sheet of paper. My MD MMI interview was more enjoyable that this! Super disappointed as judging from the responses here I thought it would be a fun, friendly interview. I'm sure he is a super nice man and his research sounded really interesting but I just struggled to connect with him when he seemed so uninterested.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
