"An ethical situation. Say you are a 3rd year student on rotations as a OB/GYN. You and 3 other people are attending a patient knocked out on anesthesia and your attendee tells you to perform a pelvic exam. The other students perform the pelvic exam, and it is finally your turn when you realize that you haven't personally obtained the patient's consent. What do you do? What if the attendee threatens to write a bad evaluation that will affect your chances for residency if you decline to perform the pelvic exam? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Tell me about yourself." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read over my application, mock interview with advisor, surfed the net for possible interview questions." Report Response
"The facilities are all new, the student body seems cohesive - everybody knows each other. The location is also great, Salt Lake is a nice city - great outdoor activities and more culural experiences available than you would initially think." Report Response
"The tour was limited to the new building. The first thing my interviewer stated when he walked in was that he only had 4 hours of sleep. He seemed so bored throughout the interview, he kept checking the time and yawning. " Report Response
"My counseler at the University of Utah had told me that the interviewers would read and know my file. Clearly not the case with my first interviewer, which completely caught me off guard. " Report Response
"The interviews are partially open-file. Interviewers have access to your AMCAS personal statement, activities, and your secondary, but not to your GPA or MCAT scores. The first interviewer (4th year med student) seemed bored and uninterested. He was checking his watch and yawning the whole time. He didn't read my file, and kept trying to ''wing it'' with questions like tell me about yourself, or tell me about leadership experiences. He also caught me off guard by asking me to tell me about my research and after I did (research was my strongest point - I worked in a lab for 2 years and have a publication in a peer reviewed journal as a first author) followed it up by saying ''Oh, so it's just basic stuff. Nothing really special.'' to which I had no idea how to respond. The second interview with the physician was a lot better. He seemed genuinely interested and knew my file pretty well. The interview itself was quite conversational and no questions were really surprising." Report Response
