⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The tone of the interview was generally conversational, and my interviewer seemed more keen on recruiting me to go into anesthesiology than stressing me out with tough questions. My interviewer was from Japan, so we talked a lot about living and traveling in foreign countries and communicating in languages other than our native tongue.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What area of medicine are you interested in?
What was the most interesting question?
What is the difference between judo and jujitsu?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read the interview feedback on this site, scoured Miami's web site for info. on programs, etc.
What was the most difficult question?
Why medicine instead of something in the humanities? (I was a history major) -- This isn't really a hard question, but that's seriously the most difficult thing I was asked. The interview was definitely not stressful at all.
What impressed you positively?
low-stress interview, lunch with students -- the most student contact of any of the schools I have visited, great clinical experience at the hospital -- the busiest in the nation, TALK WITH DR. HINKLEY! (I was very impressed that the Dean of Admissions sat down and talked with us for over an hour), food (the best food of any of the schools I visited -- a hot lunch, which is almost unheard of)
What impressed you negatively?
the humidity in Miami! I loved the school, but I don't know if I can handle the heat and humidity. If those things don't bother you, I definitely recommend checking out Miami, because it is an excellent school, and all of the students seem very happy there.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would be walking around in a wool suit in 90% humidity.
