"The Medical School Interview: Secrets and a System for Success, sdn, discussed issues in health care with physicians." Report Response
"Reputation for producing strong clinical physicians (not much research)." Report Response
"Location of medical school and housing situation (I live 2 miles from the school), doctors were late for interviews, disruptions during the interviews." Report Response
"My interview took place during fall break, which made the school seem really disorganized. Loyola is a Catholic Jesuit insitution, it was risky for me to say I would consider euthanasia under some circumstances." Report Response
"Unfortunately, my interview experience was terrible. I am aware that many good physicians come from Loyola, but the school seemed to put minimal effort into attracting students. The tour guide was a no-show, and the interviews were not professional. My first interviewer was 20 minutes late and tried to ask me questions while performing a bronchoscopy on a young lung transplant patient. He was very nice, but he didn't have time to do a complete, meaningful interview. The second doctor also showed up 20 minutes late and was not familiar with my file. Noting that my father was a private practice ophthalmologist, the interviewer criticized the profession for being money-oriented and apathetic towards patients. He interrupted our conversation to answer his phone and speak with his wife, then called his daughter. In spite of the negative experience, I was accepted. Nevertheless, my interviews lead me to doubt the overall quality of the school." Report Response
