"Research on the internet, especially health care reform news and the AMA website. Practiced interview questions." Report Response
"The admissions office was very nice and inviting. My student interviewer was excellent and engaged me in great conversation about my motivation for medicine. I enjoyed talking with the other applicants and the NJMS students running the tour." Report Response
"My interview was definitely far more stressful than I thought it would be. I was under the impression that NJMS had a relatively stress-free interview process. The interviewer had clearly not read my AMCAS application prior to the interview and had his head buried in it for the majority of the interview. He made several sexist comments about how I must be the "token" engineering woman at my undergraduate school and how "rare" it is for a woman to be good at math. His questions were not well thought out, and he refuted every response I made. For example I expressed my desire to enter private practice and he replied "no you don't." I am not sure what kind of interview style he was trying to employ, but it was very frustrating. He did not ask about my research or extracurricular activities, aspects of my application I would like to have had a chance to highlight." Report Response
"I wish I had known that not everyone is given a "stress-free" interviewer. " Report Response
"I found it off putting that my student interviewer expressed significant doubt about the safety of the school's location. I found my faculty interviewer to be extremely disagreeable and at times down right rude. " Report Response
