"1) even though I've read your app, I like to ask people to tell me the story of their lives. 2) The people I see in medicine who are unhappy tend to be unhappy because they have been turned off by a negative experience. What negative experiences have you had in your clinical work? 3) There's tons of chaos in medicine and you basically get no time off. How will you deal with that? 4) What problems do you think there are in the healthcare system? 5) what do you look for in a medical school?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"1) How did you make the decision to go into medicine? 2) Do you have acceptances? Is this the first time you applied? 3) have you researched UCSD? 4) How will you finance medical school? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"[I loved both my interviewers and thought we had really interesting and engaging conversations. My second interviewer and I got into a great conversation about immunohistochemistry and pathology and I have lots of things I want to look up now, based on what we talked about. ;)]" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN, re-read app, AMSAR, school website, mock interview (once, prior to all my interviews)" Report Response
"This is the only school I've interviewed at where, without exception, every single person I met was a person I would like to get to know better. Everyone was nice and smart and interesting and engaging, including my two interviewers." Report Response
"The program I was most interested in getting involved in has been canceled." Report Response
"The program I was most interested in getting involved in has been canceled, and I didn't find this out until I arrived because information about the program was still being sent out to all applicants. However I still would have come and there is lots to love about this school!" Report Response
"7:55a arrival, no coffee or beverages available (however thanks to SDN this wasn't a surprise). Great presentation by Dr. Kelly, followed by two interviews back to back. Opportunity to sit in on a lecture during break. Ladies, bring comfortable shoes! There's a good chance you will be taking shuttle buses or walking all over creation for your interview. ;) Lunch with students (boxed lunch was actually pretty tasty and fresh) followed by student-led tour. Then an overview of the rest of the admissions process by Brian Z., a 15-minute movie about the free clinic, and an overview of the Office of Student Affairs by Sandra. I'm heading back this evening for a tour of the free clinic and a free dinner. Dress is casual for this. Note that it appears that Dr Kelly has completely eradicated the prior cutthroat/competitive atmosphere. The students were obviously happy and there appears to be a lot of camaraderie. We need to squash these rumors! ;)" Report Response
