"4 part q: Why medicine? What positive attributes will make you a good doc? Weakness that could affect your career? How you have improved on this area? "extra points if you answer all 4"" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"If you have one re-do in your life, what would you redo and why? Also: Why DO. (If you are applying DO, be prepared for this one at EVERY interview... Kind of common sense :/)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"There is an old man and a baby drowning in a river. You HAPPEN to be in a boat next to them and able to save only one...Which one? (Baby, duh) Follow up: Baby has cystic fibrosis, old man is researcher who won nobel prize for research on CF and is close to cure, then who?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why did I choose to come back to school after a hiatus" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Weakness/redo. OR: "You will probably get accepted to many schools, what would it take to get you to come here?" Do NOT fall into the trap this Q sets. Do not get cocky and start demanding things. What they really want, I think, is for you to have a sincere desire to attend this school, and answer by telling them about this desire...." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Some SDN, but didn't really help much as the questions were all either related directly to my app, or new questions. That said, my interviewers were super chill and made me want to go to this school even more." Report Response
"Veeeeerrrry relaxed interview. Interviewers were very conversational, and I felt that they held a lot of insight into the pre-med mind... Also, the students were chill. One of the 9? biochem profs came and told us about why we should attend the school, both he and the DEAN were cool/convincing. Good board scores, VERY flexible 4th year, with the school seeming very supportive of those who want to go do audition rotations ANYWHERE, also felt very friendly to those who want to specialize. " Report Response
"Just the tuition cost... But that is with every private/DO school... They give some groups who interview late the finAID presentation first, and this can be depressing! " Report Response
"Nothing too unexpected" Report Response
"Great school! Very relaxed, though long, interview day. They give you FREE coffee, pastries, and juice in the AM. Also $9.00 @ the cafeteria for lunch! How can you beat that?!?! Good luck everyone, and RELAX, be yourself, and be upbeat (noone wants a nervous, anxious, depressed doctor. Also, be prepared to talk about your research (duh). Because you will be asked about it at (almost) every interview, and rightfully so. " Report Response
