Morehouse School of Medicine

How casual it would end up being

Having limited time during interviews

The positivity all across the room

Previous interviews and mock interviews

I really appreciated the atmosphere created here at Morehouse for interview day.

Make sure to wear flats. You are going to be doing a lot of walking.

That the day would last longer than they initially said it would.

Interviewers were late, some were really cold and lacked expression when asking questions and listening to my responses, so I could not tell if my answers resonated with them.

It was very informative. I got a lot of my questions answered and got to talk to a lot of the students and faculty.

I used SDN and talked to alumni from the school.

Some of the interviews are open file, while others are closed file.

It's important to appear relaxed, laid back, and calm. One interviewer told me I should loosen up a bit when I asked for her feedback on my interview.

I wish I knew they would ask me about high school and my parents and upbringing. I was not expecting to be asked these questions.

Some interviewers were late or there were not enough interviewers for each interviewee, so I was the last one to be placed into a Zoom room with an interviewer. Also, the events ran late, so it cut into our lunch time. We only got 10 minutes to eat lunch and no other breaks to leave the room.

Dr. Geary was a fantastic host and helped everyone laugh, relax, and chat before the first interview. He was personable and made everyone feel welcome.

I researched the school, journaled answers to interview questions from SDN, and did multiple mock interviews with advisors from my undergrad.

Great school

How important it was to really understand their mission statement

Nothing

How welcoming the faculty was
