"The questions were mostly standard, except for those mentioned above." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Something about why licorice should not be given to heart patients. There was no context for the question either. He just hit me with it while we were talking about my hobbies. I think he was trying to see how I would handle it. I had no idea, and he just told me the answer (some organic compound) and moved on." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"You've been out of school for two years (I was waiting for my husband to graduate before I applied) so how do I know you're ready for this? " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Went over my AMCAS and researched the school. I was told the name of my interviewer ahead of time, so I looked over his research." Report Response
"I really liked Dr. Willmore, the dean of admissions, who was my interviewer. He was a little eccentric, which I see as a positive -- very interesting and funny. He seemed to genuinely care about his students. Also, he wasn't bored and blase about the process, even though he's probably interviewed thousands of people and made umpteen presentations. During my interview, he was enthusiastic and energetic. Also, I LOVED the Eddie doll. They have this simulated patient that they let interviewees play with. Awesome, awesome." Report Response
"The cost! Oh, the cost! Also, there was no financial aid presentation." Report Response
"It's so easy to get from the airport to the campus on the metro, and it only costs a couple bucks. In the interview packet, the metro is mentioned, but they made it sound confusing. It's not! Use the metro! I could have saved $20 on a shuttle ride." Report Response
"The facilities weren't the nicest and newest, but who honestly cares about stuff like that? If you have great professors and nice fellow students, you will be happy learning medicine. I liked this school. It was my very first interview and my first acceptance. I will decline it because it's so much more expensive than my alma mater, but I am sure I would be very happy if I chose SLU." Report Response
