"I have not read your file yet because I don't want to have a predetermined opinion of you. So, can you tell be a little about yourself?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Was it an easy or difficult decision to apply to medical school and why?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Four things are important for being a doctor: compassion, integrity, medical techniques (such as in surgery), medical knowledge. Which do you think is the most important? Remember, there isn't a single correct answer." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"You turn a corner and hear two patients talking about you. What would you most like to hear: "I love my doctor." (Referring to your compassion), "I trust my doctor." (Referring to your integrity), "I admire my doctor." (Referring to your medical technique, such as surgical abilities), or "I respect my doctor" (Referring to your medical knowledge). Why would you like to hear them say ____? (The blank is whatever you would like to hear most)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Think about what you know about healthcare today, and consider what healthcare will be like ten years from now. How is it different? How is it the same? (Not horrible, but a difficult question)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Studentdoctor.net was the best tool... the questions about "what do you do for fun?" etc. were very accurate for one of my interviews. I almost knew the question before they asked it." Report Response
"SIM LAB! It's an amazing tool for training doctors and not all schools have it. They also use standardized patients as a training tool. My interviewers were great and made the environment fairly low stress, and one even joked around with me a bunch. There are also a LARGE variety of research opportunities, but they don't advertise them all that well online. Also, the students are great in that they aren't cut-throat competitive, but instead work as a team to learn." Report Response
"They only give 6 weeks of study time for the Step 1. I know that's average, but some schools give more time. I also wasn't a fan of walking all over campus to find the interview rooms." Report Response
"That I needed to walk inside to get a parking pass. I was worried I needed to print it ahead of time, but it wasn't discussed in the email." Report Response
"It's a great school, and visiting it made it go up on my list. I would definitely consider matriculating here because the atmosphere is great, the technology for teaching is amazing, and they teach using the systems method (discuss one system and all components of it at once) instead of individualized classes that aren't directly connected."

"My check in time was an entire hour before I was scheduled to start orientation. Maybe recommend only a half an hour before because an hour was a long time to sit and do nothing. Also, warn us in the email about parking passes because I was worried I did not print mine from the email or something." Report Response
