💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What have I done today from waking up until I got here?
Where do you see medicine going?
Mainly typical, conversational stuff.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I didn't do a lot, honestly. Read the school's website, reviewed my application and research.
What was the most difficult question?
None, really...a few about managed care issues, insurance and medicare stuff, etc., but nothing difficult if you know current events in medicine.
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. I had thought of UMC as kind of a safety school that i would attend if I had to, but now I realize that I would be so happy there. The office staff is so friendly and helpful, as are all the interviewers.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing. The facilities are great, they are in the process of expainding, and the hospitals all seem really nice and well run. A very positive experience.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
UMC is a great place. Don't count it out as just a safety school because it is a good school. It does very well in residency matches because of the clinical experiences students gain; this is very important. I cannot say enough good about this school.
