"I was really excited to interview with a faculty member I had met a few times before during a summer internship. He recognized me and knew a lot about my experiences other than what I put down on my application. He also phrased questions in ways that were creative and put me more at ease." Report Response
"My first interviewer was really nice, but totally random! He didn't ask me any questions that seemed to be related to anything. We discussed Shakespeare's Henry V and the battles that took place for about 10 min. and he told me about his friend in Japan for about 10 min. as well. I kept wondering if it was a bad thing that he talked a lot more than I did." Report Response
"Nothing really. I was pretty well-prepared for the interview process and know the school well." Report Response
"I was very surprised at how laidback my interview was and at how cool all of the other applicants were. I'd heard that I would be interviewed by a medical student and some old decrepit retired MD who is about to die. However, both of my interviewers were docs and both were young- in their 30s or 40s. They were very polite and held door open for me and asked me very interesting questions. The other applicants were very friendly and we all discussed random things such as our favorite fruit and movies rather than MCAT scores and GPAs. The people running the process were very nice and helpful. I was really stressed out before I got to UCHSC, but as soon as I stepped into the room, I was immediately put at ease. My advice to anyone interviewing here is to relax, be confident, and look forward to two interesting conversations with really cool doctors who sincerely want to get to know you." Report Response
