Faculty interviewer was late & in her car chewing gum. She was nice, but it felt really informal & the vibes were off.

Reviewed SDN

Preparation notes · 5 to 10 years ago

The interview was open file (they seemed familiar with my application and experiences) but the questions they asked seemed standard (i.e. not specific to my application).

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

I wish the interview had incorporated some orientation type material

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

Faculty interviewer was very thoughtful, conversational, and I could see them being a good mentor.

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

The interviews made up for the lackluster student tour and Q&A.

Preparation notes · 5 to 10 years ago

Both interviewers asked at least 1 difficult question. Both interviewers had access to my file, but only 1 interviewer seemed to have examined it beforehand.

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

The lack of focus on student wellness (they're only mention of it was that they had puppies come in during finals week). Student tour guides seemed less professional than they should be. Interview day was weirdly organized (financial aid session during lunch, curriculum presentation was 1.5 hours, sessions ran over time)

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

Both interviews were conversational and the interviewers was nice. It was emphasized throughout the day that administration is super responsive.

Preparation notes · 5 to 10 years ago

Read through AMCAS app and secondary. Made list of common interview questions and possible answers. Read up/watched videos on the US healthcare system and its issues. Did a few practice interviews with random people online (through r/premed reddit page).

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

Got kind of a weird vibe from the place / the other applicants. The actual interviews were the best part of the day

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

We had to be escorted to and from the bathroom. We also didn't see any of the clinical areas - just part of the sim lab

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

Although the interviews were long, they were the most casual conversations I've had on the interview trail so far

Preparation notes · 5 to 10 years ago

Read the website, read over my secondary.

Preparation notes · 5 to 10 years ago

How stressful my interview was going to be.
