What are your general comments?
So so. My student interviewer was very casual and easy going. My faculty interviewer was somewhat abrasive and aloof. The tour was lovely, but I wish that they would show more of the hospital facilities.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How do you perceive physicians? What kind of people do you think go into medicine?

Read my AMCAS application and the school's facilities and program.
What was the most difficult question?
How do you think your bioethics background will be useful in medicine? (it was with a tone that implied that it would not useful)
What impressed you positively?
The facilities here are amazing. Very high tech - you will feel like you are on the cutting edge of medicine.
What impressed you negatively?
One of my interviewers was quite aloof. I was left with the impression that he didn't like me, or was perhaps making fun of me. It was very unusual - I'm normally very comfortable and get along with my interviewers immediately. However, I just found out that I was accepted, so it just goes to show you that you can't always tell how you did based on your perception of the interviewer.

Classes are from 8am-5pm everyday. Some female students do not feel comfortable riding the METRO at night.
