What are your general comments?
I enjoyed the interviewer and going to the 2nd year class. The rest of the program wasn't very organized, but I think that was because the dean was out of town.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What books have you read lately that you weren't required to read?
How did you prepare for the interview?
StudentDoctor.net, talk to a med student, practice interviews
What was the most difficult question?
Well, at first after explaining their process, he said that the first thing I needed to do was explain why I wanted to go to medicine. But without telling where he wanted me to go. Obviously "Why medicine" is fair but he asked it in a weird way. So I talked for a bit but then he started asking questions and made it more informal and conversational.
What impressed you positively?
Great facilities, friendly interviewer who was on the admissions comittee. At the end he checked to see if I could sit in on a med school class
What impressed you negatively?
There was supposed to be a 2nd year med student tourguide, but after waiting no one showed up. So the 4th year who had given the talk gave the tour but she got lost and was kind of random. Then we didn't eat lunch until after 1pm which was tough since my interview was at 8:30am.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How late lunch would be.
