"If you had two hours to spend doing something unrelated to medicine, what would you do? If you had two weeks to do something . . . ?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Choose an issue in healthcare today and address it with your opinion about possible solutions. (4/4 interviewers this year have asked me to do this)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why did you choose medicine?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I'm not convinced you know what you are getting yourself into, convince me why you want to go to medical school? (As if all the work and money invested over the past 3 years was just for fun!?!?!)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Questions related to the research I had participated in." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN, reviewed secondary, talked with friend who is a MSII." Report Response
"Carrels. Each student is assigned a desk on campus in an area where students can store their books and study whenever they want. Parkland Hospital is huge and between it and the other hospitals students get plenty of exposure and experience." Report Response
"Student videos. They went out of their way to apologize ahead of time for their potential to offend, but several of them were straight out of stuff you see in high school. For the most part this was something that they should leave out of the interview day, or do a better job at selecting which to screen." Report Response
"How friendly and laid-back the students were. Grading is more traditional, which creates some competition, but the students still seem to help one another out. Rather, It was the group of interviewees that I was with that seemed to be more typical of the gunner reputation that this school continues to have." Report Response
"The lecture rooms were run down and in need of renovation compared with another, lower-ranked school I interviewed at the previous day. All in all, it was a very positive experience. Presentations in the morning, tour of Parkland and Children's Hospitals was impressive. I enjoyed getting to interact with several students there. Interviewers and Admissions staff all seemed very friendly and excited to have us there. Interviews were generally more casually friendly and laid-back than Texas Tech, which was hard to believe. The student center is amazing. The location is hard to beat near downtown Dallas, but not in downtown. The student videos were discouraging given my positive experience up to that point. Otherwise, this was a great interview experience." Report Response
