"A random question on diversity. I was asked how I've handled diversity in the past. I gave what I thought was a good answer, but the interviewer didn't agree. Rephrased it to include that I couldn't have seen much diversity in my life due to where I grew up, went to high school, went to college, and the fact that I was in a fraternity. So how could I deal with "ignorant african americans" in the inner city. I wish I was making this up. Needless to say I was shocked, a little offended, and blew the rest of the interview." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Which candidate most represents your views of socialized medicine?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Beware of the question: "is there anything you prepared for that we didn't ask?" This came right after the diversity question and I wasn't prepared. " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Probably, the candidate question. It was literally the first thing the first interviewer asked me. I know about socialized medicine, just not about the 2008 primary candidates' views. " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Researched socialized medicine (as was the suggestion of a KU MSI). Reviewed my file." Report Response
"I really did like KU. I grew up literally right down the street and knew a lot of physicians who either worked at/were educated at KU. I know a bit about the school, and the new research areas and heart hospital are really nice." Report Response
"The interviewer that questioned my "diversity" Really, really out of the blue. Also a bit of a shock considering I grew up in the shadow of the med school." Report Response
"I've been told following the interview that KU places a HUGE emphasis on diversity. So at least BS the fact that you have some during the interview." Report Response
"I really "bit my tongue" and held off from writing this critique, also complaining about MD admissions does nothing. But, I wanted people to beware, and hopefully be prepared for some offensive interviewers. I really was hoping to attend KU, but it left such a bad taste in my mouth I'll never think of it the same way. Thank God I had other acceptances to choose from." Report Response
