"Tell me about band. "
"Tell me about your artwork. "
"Tell me about yourself. (Both interviews were quite seamless conversations, naturally flowing from one topic to another; not all interviews at Harvard are like that, though, according my fellow interviewees)"
"How do you like Philadelphia? (my interviewer and I had spent several years in the same city)"
"What do you think are the positives and negatives about being a doctor? "
"Read about Harvard, read my application, mentally prepared myself for the day I had waited for. "
"The interviewers were awesome doctors. Neither had a Harvard education, and were the type of people you hoped to be regardless where you ended up going to medical school. They truely took the time to get to know me and thoroughly answered my questions. Students are as nice and accomplished as any other top school."
"The organization of the interview day was a bit ridiculous. No one is there to greet you in the morning, at least you'll have granola bars, water, and fellow applicants wondering the same thing in the morning. Lunch is awful, almost no vegetarian options. "
"You could get to the admissions office directly walking into the Harvard Med ''Quad'' from Longwood/Louis Pasteur Ave. without having to access Shattuck street from behind the Children's hospital. This could have saved me running around in the bitter cold trying to find Shattuck street that morning as my train arrived late. "
"There are some excellent people at Harvard, like my interviewers and people I did research with at DFCI and MGH. I walked out feeling that I did the best I could. Ultimately I found out, even having the best interviews and a convincing application at Harvard might not get you in. "
