The interview in itself went well and I really enjoyed it, but I was surprised by the facilities and don't think I would enjoy going there.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
It was more a conversation: we talked mostly about religion.
What was the most interesting question?
some questions about my research and it became a complete different conversation. the doctor i was talking to was reading my file at the same time so we had some moments when he would read and i would just sit there: it did not feel like an interview at all.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Went through AMCAS application, secondary essays that I wrote for various schools....
What impressed you positively?
Not much really
What impressed you negatively?
I was actually disappointed by my visit ( I was sick so maybe I was not in the right mood). Jefferson was one of my favorites I thought but I found the facilities old and most students I interacted with would say that they are not going to class. My student interviewer is always skipping class and did not seem to be very happy there as well.
