"Impressive facilities. Everything is brand new and state of the art. They had a whole clinic for treating special needs patients. It seemed there were endless opportunities to gain clinical experience all around the medical campus." Report Response
"My interviewers seemed very unprepared and uninterested in me at all. It was the last interview of the day so I'm sure they were tired. For the whole first half of the interview they thought I was an in state applicant when I was really out of state. The first 10 min. was spent grilling me with biochemistry questions just because I had taken that course. Whenever I tried to speak I would be interrupted and asked the same question a different way. Another chunk of the interview was spent asking me basic questions like "what schools have you applied to?" and "how many graduate school credits have you taken," basic info that is right there in front of them in my app. They then tried to convince me that I should get a Ph.D. because I could make good money on the lecture circuit. Overall bad experience." Report Response
"That I was going to be grilled on biochem. That my interviewers were not going to ask me any questions that would tell them anything about me other than what was in my app." Report Response
