Liberty University

Overall amazing. As an Orthodox Christian, although I don't fully agree with the school's evangelical nature, it's a breath of fresh air to be in an academic environment that welcomes challenging each others' worldviews and ideas. The view alone from the school could make me come here haha

How beautiful the campus was

Clinical rotations will be randomly assigned in a different state possibly

How grounded and kind every person (students, faculty, staff, etc) was.

Reading most asked questions and recording my responses/watching them

The interviewer read off a list of questions, which made the interview feel very inorganic and stiff.

My interviewer prayed for me at the end of the interview.

Read through my application, reviewed questions on SDN.

How stress free it would be

Nothing

How nice and welcoming the staff and students were.

Online research, SDN, practice interviews, YouTube videos

The interviewer had clearly looked at my application and had considered specific questions/topics to talk about with me. He was very open and clear when answering my questions as well.

Interviewer clearly read my application and tailored the interview to specific facts (languages I can speak, subjects I enjoyed in university).

SDN guides

I have gone on 4 other interviews and have acceptances from them so I don't think I'm a terrible interviewer lol. I tried really hard to give interesting answers to his questions but he made no follow up comments, just started reading the next question off a sheet of paper. My MD MMI interview was more enjoyable that this! Super disappointed as judging from the responses here I thought it would be a fun, friendly interview. I'm sure he is a super nice man and his research sounded really interesting but I just struggled to connect with him when he seemed so uninterested.

To begin, the admissions man who gave the opening welcome said "we have all kinds of students here, Catholic, Hindu Christian, Muslim" - to imply Catholics aren't Christians just felt super off, and I'm not even Catholic! He had a lot of passion for the school but struggled to convey anything about the school itself and mainly just talked about sports, hiking, and low crime. The process felt very casual and disheveled. I have gone to and loved other casual, friendly interviews but this felt almost too casual. Then my one-on-one interviewer seemed totally disinterested in what I said, and he was cleaning his ear out with his finger most of the time. He had the camera sat up so I could only see half of his face. I would start a sentence with " At X school of medicine, I completed research" and he would interrupt me to ask "what school?" or "have you ever done research". He kept asking if I had any questions about immunology, his field, but I didn't as I have not yet taken that class. Any non-immunology questions I asked he just told me to ask admissions. After 14 minutes of his reading questions off a sheet of paper, the interview concluded.

The first admissions man who spoke was very passionate about his love for the school.
