⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

No change 😐

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview and I guess it was an overall good experience. Leaving the interview, I felt a little puzzled about the half-pursued questions, but I guess they were satisfied with my answers and I know that I gave it my best. I really loved Ruby hospital and would love to attend WVU. I really appreciate the fact that they will let us know our status as soon as possible and like the free mug! I can now rest knowing that God is in control- don't know what I'd do if I didn't have that!
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Could you please explain your D in Organic Chemistry? (Don't worry, I retook it)

What was the most interesting question?

What is your favorite key? (As in musical key to play the piano in)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the website, interview feedback, talked to current med students, reviewed my app and essays, prayed.

What was the most difficult question?

None were particularly difficult.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers seemed to know a lot about me- enough to care to ask me about very specific things.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt like they didn't really pursue questions to the point where I could convey myself to a satisfactory point. For example, they asked what the "status of medical schools in MI is" (I'm from MI), and after answering their question directly, I never got the chance to tell them how my decision would lie if I received acceptance both at a MI school and at WVU. The interviewers were very nice but also rather dry.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not much really.
