What are your general comments?

"The interviews went great, I was MORE than prepared, and displayed much genuine passion and they were extremely impressed. It was more conversational. Read all questions from interview feedback, and get your answers ready. Go over your essays, they asked me about my poetry writing cause i wrote an essay on it. the student one was on ethical dilemma i had thought about recently, why CHM? interaction with diff person and how it was resolved? Faculty one was why med? what do u do for fun? (luckily for me, she played b-ball like me :p), what specialty would i like to pursue? why CHM? what are my 3 strengths? And they both asked me about poetry, cause i wrote my essay on it, and they were both very much interested. Faculty asked me if i was ok staying in east lansing for another 2-4yrs. Faculty asked me about what makes a medical prof different from others. They both wanted me to talk about my international experiences and my background. It wasnt bad at all, the rest of the day is pretty informal. Dont sweat it at all, just go over your material, and the interview feedback and you'll be fine. It was a breeze, infact i started talkin to faculty about her interests, geriatrics, and then i brought up medicare bill, and we were laughing about it! Then we both talked about interests in b-ball, and started talking about her daughter's team that she's coaching. I had a COOL interviewer! REMEMBER this is your chance to shine!! Whatever they dont ask, bring it into the conversation, so they can TRULY know you! Its only 30mins so you need to make them feel confident that you are a great match for CHM. " Report Response
