"How do you think John Kerry is going to fund the health care plan currently received by congressmen for all Americans? I told him I had no clue-he said that was a fine answer because he didn't know either." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"There really wasn't a difficult question. I did get one ethical situation: 3 year old child arrives dead at the ER and the staff attempts to revive him but fails. The first year intern jumps in and practices intubating on the deceased child while the parents are in the waiting room. They have no clue what's going on, they think the staff is still trying to "save" their baby. My interviewer asked me what I thought and, in the end, told me there was no real answer. I think he was just trying to see if I could understand both sides of the issue. " Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Relax and be yourself. UVA gives it's decisions relatively quick after interviews so you won't wait long. Don't worry about asking quesitons during the interview for the sake of sounding like you are interested. They give you a ton of information on interview day, including a "31 questions I wished I had asked" packet. I told both interviewers that I had questions before I interviewed but the medical student tour guide and the packet answered them all. The admissions committee actually works on the packet so they liked that the packet answered all my questions, made them feel like they did a good job. " Report Response
