"Made me feel out of place for not being "rural enough", despite growing up in Duluth and having been mentored by physicians who went to UMD. PhD interviewer did not ask any questions that would gauge my abilities as a physician, but instead felt the need to dissect my imperfect GPA and said "you wouldn't be the top of your class in med school but you'd do ok" How was that a productive comment?"

"The interview felt very much like they wanted me to prove my worth. There was no sense of "seeing if the school is a good fit". Almost every question from one interviewer was directed at my flaws and wanting me to explain why I'm good enough, rather than if I'm a good fit, and if they are a good fit for me. Very interrogational at moments and was def my least positive interview experience." Report Response

"You want empathetic and grounded physicians, yet you focus on numbers rather than character in your interviews. Students from the Duluth area have very limited opportunities on the pathway to med school, yet their own local med school looks down on them for not being rural enough. Shadowing is barred from local hospitals. You seem to have no desire to support your own community and aspiring physicians." Report Response
