💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

went through almost everything in my extracurriculum activity lists and asked about what I did
What do I do for fun? What have I read (biography of doctors)?
Why Wayne?

What was the most interesting question?

My high school GPA, class size and rank, and my SAT...?

What was the most difficult question?

didn't have a specific "hard" question, but "What do you want to get out of med school?" kinda get me, b/c I didn't know exactly what he was asking. (When in doubt, ask the interviewer to clarify.) I answered it in a way that combined the questions "why medicine" and "why Wayne", but later on figured out that he meant to ask "what kind of specialty you want to go into?"...

What impressed you positively?

Wayne is right next to a group of health care facilities that cover a wide spectrum of specialties. It's great that everything is all together! Also, Wayne's students are extremely active in their community. Extracurricular activities range from free clinic to educational programs.

What impressed you negatively?

Detroit is an interesting city... Looks great, but inactive to an extent. Great researches going on at Wayne, but I didn't get a feeling that students were too involved in what's going on in the research departments...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The public transportation system in Detroit is not very developed. The only ways to get from the aiport to the school is by taking a taxi or renting a car. Neither is cheap... (expect about $40 one way for taxi)!

What are your general comments?

My student host was extremely helpful. She answered more questions for me than the student who led the tour, but both are very informative. The whole interview day consisted of a 30 min tour, lunch w/ current student, and a 60 min interview... nothing else. I need to ask about financial aid before they led me to their financial aid office. (btw, arranging rides with local cab company maybe cheaper.)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
