"Interviewer 1 (MD) : Why Medicine. Why UIC. What do you think of Pres. Obama's healthcare plan. From here on it became a rather one-sided lecture on the benefits of the public option. (I felt like I blew the interview because of the lecture-like nature of the "interview" - it didn't help that this was my very first med school interview)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Interviewer 2 (M3) : Very chill. Why UIC. Why Medicine. Describe your journey. Than specifics about my response and my file. Also, what does it mean to be professional." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Interviewer 3 (PhD): Also very relaxed. Why UIC. Specifics about my research experience (from my file). And, finally, what are some recent, major advancements in the science of medicine. Describe why they are important." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Interviewer 3 : Recent Advancements in medicine." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Interviewer 1: What I think of the public option. A word of advice, don't flip-flop. If you pick a side stick with it. I think the best option is to understand both sides and discuss the pros/cons of each." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read the last 2 years worth of questions from this site (this helped). Practiced interviewing with family." Report Response
"The opportunities at this school. The clinical training. The diversity of the class. That the lectures can be streamed." Report Response
"The buildings/classrooms are a bit old. But, it's downtown chicago (I think that's to be expected)." Report Response
"How to better prepare for the lecture style "interview" of my first interviewer." Report Response
"the opportunities you get through this school are amazing. Most of the interviews are very relaxed. The interviewers really only have your essays (primary and secondary). If you do get the lecture style interview, it is really important to 1) relax 2) if possible discuss both sides (as best you can) 3) smile. Do not get flustered/angry." Report Response
