University of Ottawa

It was a good first and only interview for me. I put a lot of effor into preparing, was focused and not nervous. In an afterthought, i think I could've done better if i was more alert and thought more carefully, but given the situation i've done my best

the tour involves a tour of anatomy lab involving looking at corpse, don't do that right before your interview if it may bother you. It's pretty relaxed atmosphere prior to your interview, meds actually sit there to talk to you and help you relax

nothing

The entire hospital complex is just so dynamic, plus i love the city, people are extra friendly

everything - reading on healthcare, ethics, mock interview with meds and career center, reading on world issues, reflections, getting focused...

Really great ppl, calm and very fun to talk with. You get in, you talk about personal stuff. They want to know you. You get out...Easy as that...but its up to you how well you present yourself.

That it was gonna be relax. I would not have stressed myself as much

I wish i could have spent more time in the interview...but time is limited.

How everything was done at a very professional level. Technology is a very strong point of this school. They seem to form doctors to answer to today's health problems, but also prepare them for the furtur of healtcare. Every student gets there own laptop and learn very quickly to get friendly with the technology of healthcare. To my knowledge, it's one of the best school i've been interviewed in, period.

Mock interview, google search on ethics questions, read the news

I loved it. The interviewers really wanted to see how you ticked. they asked simple questions and seem to watch not only wat i said but how i said it. their reactions after i answered questions were also very honest. if i said something they weren't impressed with they would hint it with their facial expressions. Time passes quickly in an interview. make sure you show them who you really are. personality and knowledge and critical thinking. show them how you think through problems (ethics).

everything went to plan/instructions

The tour guides by the 1st yr meds were enthusiastic, but very unorganized... I didn't get much out of the tour...

The organization of the process. very organized and professional, yet not intimidating.

read news, watch news, read ethics, talk to students, 2 mock interviews.

All were very friendly. I was quite nervous for the first few minutes, but settled in and relaxed quickly.

nothing

I went in the morning for the info session and tour, but I had about 2.5 hours to kill before my afternoon interview...that was brutal. My fault really.

The info session was done really well and got me pumped up for my interview. the students were all really enthusiastic as well.

websites like this, read the paper for current events, went to interview workshop at my school, thought out answers to common questions, practiced with friends who were also interviewing, learned about the health care system
