What are your general comments?
My interviewer couldn't make it, but they didn't find out till 10:00AM rolled around and he was a no-show. They got another doctor, who had not looked at my file at all, to interview me. It was stressful at first, but I kept calm. On top of that, my interview was only ~30 min, adding to the post-interview anxiety.
Since then, I got in, and am 99.9999991% sure I'm going there in the fall.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about a time when you looked up something scientific for your own knowledge. Don't just tell me ''I looked this up one time.'' Tell me what happened that made you look it up, and tell me what you learned, using scientific terms. It does not have to be health- or biology- related.
