What are your general comments?

"Awesome experience overall. I started my day at 9 am. Half the ppl come at 9, and the others come at 11. I was glad to get my interviews done in the morning though, because at 11, you go to lunch and meet all the ppl that have not had their interviews yet...everyone is kinda nervous and asking the med school students about their specific interviewers...that would have made me more nervous.. But anyways, both interviewers were realllly nice people. They made me feel very comfortable. They were both very conversational. I wrote down as many questions as I could remember from the "convos" that I had. I hope they help you all prepare for your interviews! Good Luck to you all!! Here are the questions i remember: 1. 63 yrs old patient wants to withdraw from life support...she can communicate thru eye blinks. Her family agrees. You are her doctor. What do you do? 2. B/c of your faith, would anything cause you any discomfort/problem as a doctor? 3. Would you consider going to D.O school? 4. Tell me about your family. 5. what are your strengths and weaknesses 6. Most memorable volunteer experience 7. Most interesting paitent experience 8. What kind of place would you like to work in: small town, big city, etc. 9. Tell me about your research. 10. What field of medicine are you interested in? 11. Why FSU? 12. What do you think is the most pressing concern in healthcare? Basically, know your amcas application well. One of my interviwers focused greatly on my application and asked a lot of questions revolving around my personal statement, while the other interviewer was just literally making conversation. I hope all this was helpful for you guys. I interviewed on Jan 27th, so I should find out by tomorrow or wednesday. Please pray for me!" Report Response
