💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How will you and your partner deal with the demands of medical school in terms of time it will take away from your relationship?
What was the most interesting question?
All medical students start out with great attitudes and then something happens to htem between third and fourth year -- they start making fun of patients and rushing to get out of the hospital. Why do you think this happens and what will you do to prevent it from happening to you.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Got my hair blown out :> Read my AMCAS, spent 35 years getting to know myself really well.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about the worst day of your adult life. Not hard to answer but difficult for the content of my answer.
What impressed you positively?
The sense of community within the students of each year. The friendly and supportive staff. The hospital -- what isn't impressive about the clinical experience we will get at LA County
What impressed you negatively?
The library is dated. I know new buildings are going in, but there is virtually no housing, food or collegiate local community.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That we were allowed to observe lectures if they were being held --- I would have gone in earlier.
