"When do you study best (what time of day)?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"How will you fit all the reading in? (How many hours will you need to read a day/night? How will you change your schedule to be efficient and not get behind on the reading?)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What are the keys to working in a group?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"When do you study best (what time of day)?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"How will you make your priorities? (What will you do to balance family and med school? What will you do if a family member gets sick but you have a med school test the next day?)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN interview feedback page, read over my primary, read over my healthcare class' lecture notes, came up with answers to common questions." Report Response
"The facilities are GORGEOUS and there are a lot of great places for studying, learning, etc. The admissions staff is really kind and my interviewers were awesome (although I wish they had asked questions personally to each of us in the group). The faculty here really seem to care about the students and want everyone to succeed (seriously)." Report Response
"The PBL curriculum. Not for me, I think--no thank you to reading 8-10 hours/day on your own and having 12+ chapters of material on each exam, as well as having little direction from faculty on what to study. Also, no thank you to working in a group of EIGHT--four or five's fine, but working with seven others has got to get old after awhile... Oh and I'm not a big fan of the rules they have (no water/drink anywhere on campus except in the cafeteria; business causal whenever you're on campus)--I went into the interview knowing these rules, but when I saw them enforced I realized exactly how much I disliked them and how much I know they would negatively affect me and my ability to study/learn on campus." Report Response
"That the group interview would contain five other interviewees + me, that the M/F ratio at the interview would be approximately 70/30 (which, actually, turned out to NOT be a great thing for all of us women there)." Report Response
"The group interview, honestly, really sucks if you're not good at group discussions (i.e., talking in a large group, getting your say in without interrupting others, saying something substantial that no one else said)--especially group discussions about trivial and/or broad things. I felt like I never really got a chance to say much, much less to say anything substantial. People in my group were talking over each other (and even the interviewers at a couple points!) to get their say in and a lot of them said what I was thinking, we were asked such general and such easy questions about PBL. This school really made me hate group interviews--I dearly hope I do not have to do another one. The sad thing is, the interview itself was really relaxed--no hard questions asked, the interviewers were very friendly, etc. I just don't think I got a chance to make a good impression upon the interviewers, as they didn't ask anything personal (the q's were ENTIRELY about PBL)."
