Positively 🙂

2 out of 10

What are your general comments?
Really good. I enjoyed talking with both physicians. They were very interested in my research and medical internships/hospital shadowing experiences. Even though they were discussed in my application, my interviewers wanted to talk about them in detail. Very relaxing, straightfoward, and fair.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What is the problem or reason for health care disparities with the underprivileged? I have done research
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looking over my application, looking at the med school website
What was the most difficult question?
What is the problem or reason for health care disparities with the underprivileged?
What impressed you positively?
low stress level of students, stress free testing environments. Exams are administered to students, open note, open book, and you are able to take the exam anywhere on campus where you feel comfortable. Honor Code of course is important. High scores on board exams
What impressed you negatively?
Not really a lecture hall or classroom because PBL is based on group work in study type rooms. Could be negative to someone who prefers the lecture style of learning. I was not so impressed with the anatomy lab. Very old and out of date facility but of course the focus is on the bodies there not the the state of the classroom.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing new, PBL is a big deal there, so I kind of learned about it before hand
