⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Just be yourself and everything will be fine. Most students had good interviews. I was asked the ethical question above probably because that interviewer was a Ph.D in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to become a doctor?
What was the most interesting question?
What do you envision yourself doing in the next 10 years?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN Interview Feedback, SDN forums, UTH website, application, and personal essay.
What was the most difficult question?
A man has tried everything to raise enough money to buy a new, expensive drug that cure his possibly terminally ill wife but fails. He comes to you as a friend and tells you that he plans to outright steal the drug from the pharmacy. What do you tell him to do?
What impressed you positively?
Camaraderie of students and faculty. A lot of them went out of their way to help the applicants.
What impressed you negatively?
Tours were somewhat lacking. Nothing went on inside Texas Heart Institute.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Most interviewers just want to know about you as a person and what motivates you to become a doctor. Intense preparation is not really necessary at all.
