What was the most interesting question?
How do you deal with stressful situations that you come unprepared for?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Glanced over the USUHS Catalog. Reviewed the Interview Feedback on SDN. Wrote up potential interview questions. Read over my AMCAS and USUHS personal statements.
What was the most difficult question?
If you wanted to enter military medicine, why didn't you consider an HPSP scholarship instead?
What impressed you positively?
The overall environment was very friendly and positive. All the MS1 and 2 students were very kind and enthusiastic. Presentations really helped with my understanding of USUHS.
What impressed you negatively?
The lunch menu only consisted of a single item: chicken caesar salad or a sandwich of your choice. The taste wasn't great.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Since traffic is HORRIBLE in Washington, D.C, it took me an hour just to get to the school from IAD. It's better to go with BWI airport because there's no traffic on the way.
