⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
5 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
I felt the interviewer was genuinely trying to test my qualifications beyond the numbers and achievements-critical thinking ability, maturity level and overall personality; much of his questioning was aimed at my awareness of culture, history, peoples' needs and, generally, to test the level at which I view the world.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What was so significant about the Rape of Nanking? (the interviewer and I had a common interest in history)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read the interview feedback questions from this website; asked family members who had been through the process before; video recorded myself
What was the most difficult question?
Where are the mesenteric arteries? (he asked me this right off the bat--wasn't a hard question but i wasn't expecting it so, in my freaking out, I interpreted the question as "what system do the mesenteric arteries belong to?" after i answered, he just kinda looked at me in a funny way and rubbed his stomach--doh.)
What impressed you positively?
Everybody is soooo nice; campus feels safe and clean (in spite of what you hear about the surrounding area)
What impressed you negatively?
Not enough places to get food on campus; no exercise/sporting facilities on campus
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing, really.
