SDN + basic med questions

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

Overall very straightforward interview. Usually a faculty member and a M3 or M4. The last 5 minutes are for you to ask them questions so make sure to have some ready.

Preparation notes · 2 to 5 years ago

They might flip your answers around on you, so make sure you can discuss why you made the decisions you made.

I liked the info sessions before the interview where they told us about the curriculum structure and rotation sites. The interview was overall pretty laidback.

Preparation notes · 2 to 5 years ago

SDN, reddit, practiced questions with advisor and friends.

Great experience. Interview day made me more interested in CCOM.

Preparation notes · 2 to 5 years ago

Just one interview. Also, lots of time to talk with other applicants and get to know them.

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

All of the faculty and students, everyone was professional and friendly. The campus was awesome as well.

SDN, primary and secondary apps

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

They ask you a lot of general (non-med school) interview questions. One interviewer will be “pushing” you with curt answers or making you doubt what you said, which is apparently on purpose. If you tell them any points about yourself or what you do, then they definitely write it down and come back to ask/explain yourself in more detail.

It is a semi-closed interview. The interviewers have your resume, personal statement, and secondary... but they don't know your grades or MCAT.

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

I feel like they didn't do a great job selling the school at all. Really the only thing that was a pro that they kept on saying was their reputation and nearby clinical sites. Felt like there wasn't too much for them to brag about. Dean said really the only time he thinks it is accepted for students to research during the summer in between their first and second year which seemed odd to me.

Wish I hadn't gotten in my own way more, but it was a great learning experience for me.

Preparation notes · 2 to 5 years ago

How rubric-based the questions felt, wish I practiced my structure and delivery of questions more.

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

school shared interviewers ahead of time but most of those interviewers were different than the day ahead

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

I liked the openness of med students and the dean of admissions and background was very interesting and impressive to me.
