💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about the progression of careers you've wanted to do throughout your life. (Then he gave me his example-cowboy b/c he though was cool, etc...)
What was the most interesting question?
What do you think is a positive and negative experience you've had with other physicians? Why? What'd you learn from it?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Just relax! Know your AMCAS and be ready to walk!
What was the most difficult question?
Have you ever faced a situation where you let someone down? How? How did you handle it?
What impressed you positively?
The integrated curriculum sounds like a get fit for me. Also, they decide on your acceptance/waitlist/rejection status the day you interview and post your outcome the next day to the website.
What impressed you negatively?
Obv. it was a cold day (not as cold as those of you who interviewed in Dec or Jan.) but, I didn't like having to carry my coat the whole tour so that we could go outside to walk across campus.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Pop 10 minute essay at "lunch" where they let other med students come in, be loud, move furniture, sit down and eat while you're writing. It's hard to fill the page in 10 min's with all these distractions.
