💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What should I tell the admissions committee about you?
What was the most interesting question?
Explain your experiences and how you decided on medicine.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read my Yale application, prepared question for Yale interviewees
What was the most difficult question?
What is your weakness? I replied that it was time management with the good number of things I did, and then I was told, ''That is a nice politically, correct answer, but what is your real weakness?'' Also, what other schools did you apply to? Also, why didn't you stay with a student host?
What impressed you positively?
The first interviewer was the type of personality I would like to have as a doctor. The students were nice, and Director Silverman seemed approachable.
What impressed you negatively?
The second one was a little arrogant, but things turned out alright. Too many people for the admissions office to handle in one day; well, at least they accommodated the large number of requests by applicants to have an interview on Presidents Day; I can't blame them for that.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
You won't discover much about Yale during the interview day if there are many other applicants. So you should go to second look if admitted.
