"You think your attending made a mistake. As the resident, what do you do?"

"How is education related to medicine"
"Why DO and why this school?"
"Do you have any questions for us?"
"If you could advocate for something what would it be and why?"
""Why are effective communication skills important in a clinical setting?""
"How do you think physicians can address the desire of patients to die at home when most people prefer to be at home when they die yet usually spend their last days in the hospital?"
"MMI situation"
"Tell me about yourself"
"The lying one"
"We had a part of the interview where we had to write an answer to a prompt in one of those bluebooks they provided us. I had not written essays by hand in years so it was a little stressful because my hand was cramping up lol but thequestion was not too bad, it was something like do you think physicians should be held to a higher standard of their own health by not having them smoke etc and isay the rate determining step to this was not finding an answer to the question but rather just writing it all down by hand"
"Tell me about yourself"
"Nothing too crazy"
"this was my 6th interview so i didn't really prepare too hard, just read over my personal statement and also thought about some reasons why i like Sam specifically"
"day before met with my mentor to calm down the nerves"
"Dr. Gray's Book, MMI practice scenarios"
"Did not prepare"
"Dr. Gray's youtube and book."
"Researched the school and its mission."
"Did a few mock interviews and read Dr. Gray's interview book."
"Read Dr. Gray's Interview book."
"Googled top interview questions and answered all of them specific to the school"
"facilities were very new and clean. staff seemed kind. Kids were very positive about the school."
"how accepting and welcoming everyone is"
"the location and its proximity to lots of nature and fun outdoorsy stuff and not too much traffic."
"Very organized"
"The faculty seem to really like being there. They treated us all like we were already students at the institution. It was very comfortable talking with them. I felt right at home. Also, I really love the Hogwarts theme that they have going on with the learning communities."
"The interviewer was kind, professional, and reacted positively to my interview responses."
"The students seem to really have a voice when it comes to recommendations and changes, as it is a new school."
"The general warm and positive ambience from everyone who was there. Everything was very well organized and on time."
"The friendliness and welcoming environment!"
"nothing"
"They done goofed by being one of the only schools to require in-person interviews and would have made a way better impression by hiding the campus behind a virtual screen. Conroe, Texas on its own is bad enough, the campus itself is like a dilapidated shack that looks like somebody bought a condemned office building and tried running a sketchy side-business out of it. The school at the time of this review is unaccredited, which in and of itself isn't necessarily a deal-breaker; new schools have to go through a long and daunting accreditation process. However, a serious red flag is that even with their most senior class on the cusp of graduation, they haven't even been able to gain provisional accreditation so they can apply to residency. And they were, for some inexplicable reason, PROUD of this. The administration is clearly a disorganized mess, and most of the interviewers seemed like they didn't want to be there. Okay campus on paper, super scuffed in person."
"kind of small af"
"School hasn’t graduated a class"
"Nothing in particular."
"Faculty interviewing were very dry and impersonal"
"After the interview, we went to deans presentation, Q&A panel, etc. and the faculty were not enthusiastic, seemed like they didn't want to be there, etc. They avoided admission/acceptance/timeline questions as well. Felt they weren't too excited to be there."
"The interviewers were instructed by the school to ask specific questions. After my response, they were not allowed to discuss that question and immediately went on to the next question. It wasn't until all of the prompts were read that we were able to have a normal discussion."
"Lack of scholarship opportunities"
"the amount of people who were actually going to be there to be interviewed"
"do not book a flixbus all the way on the other side of Houston from the school in Conroe if that bus leaves in an hour because you will either miss it or like me, barely make it onto the bus hallelujah"
"Writing prompt was CASPER style"
"They gave us all pertinent information regarding the interview well in advance. I appreciated their efforts."
"Just make sure you check your audio and video are working on AMP"
"Don't stress too much about the group activity!"
"That we are graded on the group activity"
"The best meal I've had along the interview trail - most places just gave us a boxed lunch. The staff was all very kind, and the dean's presentation was very impressive and covered a lot of material. I appreciated that they took the time to help us try on white coats"
"It was an amazing experience!"
"fairly new school, the students seem to like it there"
"I hope to attend this institution one day."
"I liked my interviewer a lot. Very kind and professional. The faculty in teh group sessionse/info sessions/etc. after were just not enthusiastic and didn't seem excited to be there."
"Overall had a great impression! The staff really seemed passionate and excited about the program."
"Go in and have a fun time. You are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you!"
"Great school"
