What are your general comments?
I had a wonderful interview experience. Both of my interviewers had a genuine interest in learning more about me. They asked interesting questions and were non-confrontational. The student lead tour was also fantastic. Our 2nd-year-student tour guide was very knowledgeable, and she was very happy at U of R. My student host was also very generous with his time.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What would you do if you were not performing well in a particular class?
What was the most interesting question?
Do you love Biology? This was a great question because it allowed me to express my enthusiasm for science.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, school website and brochure, online articles about US Healthcare system. I spent time thinking about about current issues in medicine and healthcare policy (prescription drug benefits for elderly etc.)
What was the most difficult question?
Ethical questions: What would you do if a patient was refusing treatment?
What impressed you positively?
The students seemed very happy. When I was waiting for my interview, at least three or four students stopped to speak with me. They were very enthusiastic about the school and about their classmates. The admissions staff encouraged us to attend lectures (I highly recommend this), and I was able to sit in on a PBL session. Many students asked questions during class, and the faculty were very responsive. I like the way that the curriculum is organized. There's a gym in the hospital that's open 24-7.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing negatively impressed me. The facilities are new. The faculty, students, and staff that I met were very friendly.
