Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

Incredible. Fun. Interesting. Cold (get some hot tea). Everything you can want is there and more.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Nice tie. Did you buy it esp? (crimson colors) Then he suggested I get a couple of other ones when i go to UNC and Columbia....(all in good humor, he knew the school i was interviewing at for Dental SChool)

What was the most interesting question?

If I were to ask your father what are you three best and worst qualities what would he say?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I relaxed, read the material and talked to a few friends at "ha-vayrd"

What was the most difficult question?

same as above. I couldn't think of a third. But it was alright, he understood being on the spot.

What impressed you positively?

What didn't?? HMS is palacial. I do not believe in the Treasury Department anymore, I believe money was being printed in the basement of HMS. No wonder Harvard hasn't the largest endowment (6 billion i hear)

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing about Harvard, but traffic and parking. But keep in mind the T is there so not a bother really. Awesome experience

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Wish i had spent longer in boston. Everyone i talked with was incredibly cool. Went a had a drink and got to know them before i left, but they were the type of student who know their stuff without being stuffy. Pretty unusual for an Ivy (Exception was PENN)
