What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 2)?

"What are some ethical issues? (it sounds easy but when someone asks you to name a broad range, you can mention some and not get into depth about anything because its so broad and come off sounding like you don't know anything about them. " Report Response | I was asked this question too

What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 3)?

"which schoold did you apply to? All other cookie cutter questions, what extracurriculars? Why stony brook? etc. The only problem was that since he asked one question after another, I had little time to respond. I told him, "I played organized sports- got cut off for the next question and never got to tell him I was president of this and that. It only last at most 15 mins though so you can guess how it went" Report Response | I was asked this question too

What are your general comments?

"I don't believe the interviewer believed me when I told him why I wanted to be a doctor, he asked me that question 3 times. It's my real reason and I guess he wanted to hear something else. " Report Response
