What was the most interesting question?

What was the most difficult question?

How did you prepare for the interview?

"This site, Ian Wong's premed site, Queen's website, reviewed my autobio sketch and my essay, did practice questions with friends." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"The new Clinical Education Centre where the interview was, along with the Clinical Skills Program as described to me by the med students - basically it's early exposure to patients in a beautiful new building that looks like a hospital but is completely dedicated to teaching. Also Kingston as a city was a lot nicer than I remembered, ie, a lot more urban (at least in the teeny tiny downtown area around campus)" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"After hearing everyone go on and on about how their interview was like a casual conversation, I was disappointed that mine wasn't at all like that. Half of the time was spent chatting about stuff on my sketch, but then the rest of the time I was being interrogated about healthcare and world politics." Report Response
