What are your general comments?
I have applied and interviewed at UofL before, so the interview was not a surprise...there were four students interviewed in the morning, then lunch and a tour/class...then four more students are interviewed in the afternoon with different faculty. There are also three medical students on the selections committee that interview...one from the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd year classes. The selection committee is comprised of 28 individuals...you will interview with two of them. You must have a 2/3 vote to be accepted and the student members can vote as well.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What was the most trying obstacle you have had to overcome? What do you want me to tell the committee (both interviewers asked this)
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, mock interview
What was the most difficult question?
How would your friends describe you? What are your greatest strengths/weaknesses? What clinical experiences do you have? (These weren't really difficult...just thought they would be helpful)
What impressed you positively?
All first-year students receive PDAs for the duration of their education. The school is wireless so you can use the PDAs anywhere. There are several LARGE hospitals that are part of the medical complex...not just the University Hospital and students can rotate through them all.
What impressed you negatively?
The size of the classroom...if you aren't there early you have to go to an overflow room with a television or sit in the isles.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Interviews are not entirely blind...your interviewer will have your secondary and personal statement from AMCAS.
