6 out of 10

Overall, very good. I got waitlisted and eventually withdrew from the waitlist but I think I could've been happy at Yale.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
My faculty interviewer asked what I would do if for someone reason I could not go into medicine. My student interviewer asked what fears/anxieties I had about going to medical school. They both asked me why I wanted to go to Yale (even though I'd already addressed that issue in the essay for the secondary).
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read interviewfeedback.com and looked at Yale's website to make sure I was familiar with the Yale system. I also reread my AMCAS and Yale secondary essays.
What was the most difficult question?
Nothing really. In general, it was a very laid back interview.
What impressed you positively?
The students there were so happy and relaxed. It was the first med school I visited and it the stress level totally wasn't what I expected at all.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities at the school. But they are building a huge new building that should be fantastic.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That it was actually pleasant to talk to the other interviewees. I found this was true pretty much everywhere I went.
