How did you prepare for the interview?

I read my secondary, and reviewed their website. I had also read books on ethics and the medical system, and I was prepared to answer the standard interview questions (most of which were NOT asked).

What impressed you positively?

The student tourguide was a 4th year and you could tell that she really loved the school. During the tour we walked in on a group of med students wishing one of the retiring teachers fairwell, and they were all happy. The whole school seems very friendly and comfortable. They also promise to give you a response in under two weeks!

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the facilities were not so nice. The actually school building looks very old and sort of dreary.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew that the interviews would be so laid back. This was my first interview and I was really nervous, but walking around and getting to know the other interviewees and even interviewing was really fun.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Six people were given lunch and a tour on the day I interviewed. There were 3 interviewers, 2 MD's and 1 student. Everyone had two half an hour interviews, either both with MD's or on with the student and one with an MD. The entire interview section took about two hours. It's open file and both interviewers read my file and made intelligent and relevant questions.
