"If I went up to your friends after this interview and asked 'Okay, now what is he REALLY like?' what would they say?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What do you think you'd add to our class of 2012?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Various questions for more info about my research and activities." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Nothing too surprising during the interview. Many questions such as: ''What would you like me to say about you to the admissions committee?'', ''How would your friends describe you?'' and things like that." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"One interviewer asked me if UK College of Medicine was my first choice, which was a little unnerving. He had already closed my file and stopped writing notes, and maybe he was just trying be friendly or something? Anyway, it was a little awkward to answer that gracefully." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN forums (a LOT), re-read my secondary (VERY important for UofL), re-read my personal statement, reviewed my research, etc. etc." Report Response
"The tour guide and student hosts were very engaging and enthusiastic about the school. When the class we were supposed to sit in on was cancelled, the tour guide took time to talk with us very frankly about the school and the application process in general. Also, the interviews were academically closed-file. The interviewers had my personal statement and activities decriptions, but not my actual numbers. It gave me a real chance to talk about who I am and what I've done without having to deal with questions about specific classes or grades. They also have a state-of-the-art patient simulation lab." Report Response
"Not much. The student facilities are aging a little, but what school's aren't? They do their examinations for classes all on one day in 5 one hour blocks. It's supposed to mimic the Step 1 and 2 exams. It seems potentially overly stressful, but I can't know for sure. " Report Response
"I wish I'd known the weight they put on their own secondary application. I had wondered why it was ~20 500 character essays, but it's where they get their biggest picture of who you are. Many of the things I alluded to in it came up during the interview." Report Response
"Overall, it was very informative and extremely laid back. I had heard horror stories on the SDN message boards about interviews at other schools, but UofL was nothing like that. They will give UK a run for their money in my book." Report Response
