"My second interviewer was a MD, so he focused on my motivations for medicine and family life." Report Response
"What do your parents think about you going into medicine in light of the current healthcare reform?" Report Response
"Tell me about a current ethical problem in healthcare. I don't think I answered this one very well..." Report Response
"Read SDN and tons of 'doctor' books including one on understanding health policy; knew my primary and secondary... but I think I could have used a little more prep to make my answers more specific." Report Response
"Friendliness of everybody: admissions office staff, chairman and dean of admissions, tour guide, interviewers, MS1's, MS2's; clean, fresh, and new hospital facilities- especially the very cute children's ward, and of course, the amazing gym " Report Response
"Honestly nothing... This day turned out to be about us getting to know each other. Loyola really is beautiful- their mission, their facilities, and their people." Report Response
"They forewarn you that you might have a lot of down time, which you can use to read/study. But this actually ended up being a good opportunity to sit in on lecture, talk to other interviewers, and ask questions from the chairman." Report Response
"LOYOLA IS A GREAT PLACE! Everyone is truly happy with the education and opportunities at Loyola and helping in their community. This was my first interview- but I'll have a better frame of reference to compare Loyola against other schools very soon. :) " Report Response
