"Tell me about your shadowing experience" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"So... you're from California (insert your hometown). Tell me about it." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Again... it was mostly conversational about different aspects of my AMCAS application." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"The interviewer was very personal with me, calling me by name and had reviewed my file to enable him to be familiar with my family life, my history, etc. The most interesting questions came from my background. I was very impressed with this." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"There wasn't necessarily one most difficult question, but we got into a discussion about the difficulty of opening up one's own practice (this was brough up as we talked about my shadowing experiences). I enjoyed the conversational atmosphere, which both put me at ease, and enabled me to express my opinions and reasons for them." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I read SDN, reviewed the school's website, prepared lots of questions, and really just thought about all the reasons to go there and what I still needed to find out to make an informed decision." Report Response
"I was so impressed by the kindess of the dean of admissions, the excitement of our tour guides, the diverse population of St. Louis, the direction the school is heading, and the lectures that I attended. The school is building a brand-new research building a block away, which will provide state-of-the-art facilities. I was also impressed with the simulation laboratory which enables med students to practice of computerized dummies to get real experience in pharmacology, cardiology, etc. Fabulous lab!" Report Response
"St. Louis is very different from where I grew up in California. Yes, the school's facilities are a bit older, but what do yuo expect from the oldest Medical School west of the Mississippi? The school's location, although not so wonderful, was not too much of a concern because one can live far from campus (as most students do there) and then commute on not-to-crowded freeways (and the rent in St. Louis is incredibly low)." Report Response
"I wish I had come with an even more open mind about the school; I came pretty open-minded but I could have come in more and it would have helped, for biases only blur the truth about the school. Find out for yourself; don't take other people's words; it couuld just be their personal bias." Report Response
"One-on-one conversation for 60 minutes about myself, the school, my intentions, my goals, etc. Wonderfully done, well planned, and professinoal." Report Response
