Dalhousie University

this interview is not that stressful

knowing i had to wait another couple months still to find out the outcome...

everyone affiliated with the school did a great job of relaxing the candidates

read the newspaper, read ''Doing Right'' (an ethics book), read about health care, and specifically Nova Scotian health care, practiced questions

--very friendly atmosphere

reflection on motives, reading newspaper and journal articles, reviewing personal essays

Excellent, very laid back and welcoming environment. Seriously everybody, chillax! Normally just the sound of the word 'interview' is enough to cause me to have heart palpitations. So if I found this a stress-free event, you'll be judt fine.

I wish I had known it was goign to be so laid back and such a different experience from my interview last year.

Friendly med students & fantasically nice interviewers

LOTS of honest self-reflection, read the newspaper everyday for the past fifteen years, little bit of ethics review, read over my application

Perfect.

I wish I hadn't stressed out as much as I did before hand. The whole day was laid back, and I didn't have a single feeling of stress or nervousness the whole time.

Everything - absolutely everything.

I read some of the things written by the Canadian Institute for Health Information and a synopsis on healthcare in Canada done by the CBC.

This being my first interview I really didn't know what to expect. It was just like people say however; very relaxed waiting room with a lot of friendly first year students and interviewees willing to chat. Questions were generally interesting and before you know it they say ''we are running out of time''. It's hard to get a complete impression of someone's personality with just 10 questions in 30 minutes.

Nothing

Interview took place in a small medical examination room that barely fit three people comfortably

The presence of first year students the waiting room made for a more relaxed atmosphere

Answered questions from this site, read about the health care system, brainstormed different topics with my friends and family

Everything was aimed at making the interview process as smooth and comfortable as possible. First year med students talked to us before and after, helping people to calm down and relax. Dal's reputation for being friendly and welcoming is well deserved.
