⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
initially i was hesitant to fly out to CT, because i didn't think i had a huge chance as an out-of-stater and thought it would be a waste of money. but according to the admin people, they are trying to increase that number. i just got a good vibe from the students and faculty i met, and am soooo glad i went out there. from the many students i met, i can see myself being friends with all of them. one student and one faculty/physician interviewer.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
asked about a specific part of my personal statement concerning my reasons for going into medicine.
What was the most interesting question?
how do you plan on balancing your career and your personal life, like a family? (the reason this did not offend me was because it was from an aweseome female ob/gyn)
How did you prepare for the interview?
read over application, sdn, looked at site
What impressed you positively?
wonderful students who truly seem happy. nice facilities. the area is really cute, although a small town. my interviewers seemed like they spent a lot of time reading my file. the physician who interviewed me told me a lot about her experience through med school, etc. which was realistic yet positive.
What impressed you negatively?
nothing
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
that uconn is trying to expand its out-of-state acceptance percentage- good for me. also,there is a mock-pbl session with a faculty member and a student. this does not count towards your interview and it's pretty fun.
