"Background questions, including what High School I went to and my parent's education level / occupation." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What was your GPA and MCAT (student interviewer)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Is there anything on your application that I should know about / would be concerning to the admissions committee?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"No question stood up, but the conversation stayed interesting throughout. I might be biased, though. After all, who does not enjoy talking about themselves?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"About the health care system in my native country (it has changed quite a bit since I left)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Looked up recent changes to the school curriculum; specific programs / fellowships i would be interesting in doing at this school; read the AMCAS app (wish I had read it again the day before the interview);" Report Response
"the interviewers interested in the details of my background, with less focus on my academic accomplishment. Seemed like they really wanted to get to know "the road traveled"." Report Response
"Was surprised I had been asked for my grades and scores. Thought the interviewes were closed file precisely so that these factors would not play a role in your impressions of the person. Felt the question defeated the purpose." Report Response
"I am familiarized with the different campuses but if this were my first time coming to the school I think I would've been stressed having to take shuttles to interview at locations other than the main campus. Having to find your way around the campuses might be an added stress for some applicants, though I understand this is a needed practice." Report Response
"I found the students to be a very good resource. I particularly enjoyed attending the MS 2 pathology lab. The students were friendly and inclusive. Anecdotally, it seems like Dr. Wofsy's introductory remarks are quite uplifting. Such was not the case with Dr. Ohara. He's honesty was appreciated though I did not understand the point of some comments (like saying our acceptance could depend entirely upon who interviewed us that day / whether they liked us)... I don't think that was helpful at all." Report Response

"Having a more social lunch hour (i.e. Have more med students answering our questions during that time). There was only one student when I interviewed and I was hoping to hear a different perspective on the questions we were asking." Report Response
