What was the most interesting question?
Not a question, but they split the interviewees into 2 groups. Each group read instructions to create a public health facility meeting listed goals, then presented it to the other group. The interviewers watched the entire process.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview with personal dentist
What impressed you positively?
Students felt like their opinions and feedback really made a difference in the school since it is so new.
What impressed you negatively?
Curriculum. Students described it as 100% one subject at a time. Studied everything about "chemistry" (example) 8hrs a day until completion and then took an exam. Exam schedule is very sporadic because of this due to some subjects being shorter than others. They said that sometimes you could have one exam and then another on a completely new subject 2 days later.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
3rd year is in St. Louis, 4th year is various rotations throughout Missouri.
