💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

so why tulane? why new orleans?

What was the most interesting question?

So did you take any history or humanities courses?? Tell me about it- what books did you read in that class?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the student admissions handbook- knew the curriculum cold. Had to know why tulane.

What was the most difficult question?

The humanities question was tough- i took the class my freshman year and he wanted to know the books i read in that one class.

What impressed you positively?

the students. EVERYONE seemed to love the school. it was sooo laid back. i went into a class and they were eating pizza during the lecture- a student saw me sitting there and passed me some cookies. teachers seemed really interested in students' welfares. 1st yr med students do get clinical experience.

What impressed you negatively?

maybe the facilities. but it's no big deal. small cafeteria. the housing is not that great at deming- but you can find awesome apartment housing for cheap. the student host i stayed at paid 350 a mth for 2 bedroom 2 bathroom place.. and it was big!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

you can take any course you want to in the tulane university. you can take public health courses for free as well as undergrad classes- if you take enough public health courses - you can get an MPH in the same amt of time as you do your med school.
