Summary of Application Experience
Complete mostly in late Aug due to committee letter delay. Interests in research and teaching / academic medicine.
Summary of Experience:
I heard very nice things about this school, but I just got really tired of interviewing and wasn't that excited about Cleveland...
Summary of Experience:
Applied on a whim, not expecting to get an interview here. Interview day was extremely unstructured. I think my first interview went well, second interview was a lot tougher.
Summary of Experience:
I didn't go into the interview that terribly excited, but the people at the school (especially my tour guide) really impressed me. I like the abroad opportunities, and it seemed like everybody I met was really happy with their experience, so I'm glad I had the chance to learn more during the interview!
Felt like my MMI went okay (one question wasn't great, but the second station went well) and my faculty interview was fine-- not exceptional but not bad either.
Summary of Experience:
Nice school. Had a great time interviewing-- one faculty, one student as usual. I felt like I got a nice overview of the school and also answered the questions well in the interview. [ withdrew ]
Summary of Experience:
BEAUTIFUL school in a beautiful city! Very happy to have been accepted.
I felt like my interview didn't go that great here. Some questions I felt I answered nicely at the panel interview, but my faculty interview was very tough and I came out feeling bad about it.
Summary of Experience:
Applied here because of the location and curriculum. I'm not sure if I'd like it because it isn't directly affiliated with a larger university-- not sure if that changes things. Everybody at my interview day seemed SO happy; it was fantastic!
I wasn't sure how my interview went because I felt like I didn't get to talk about myself much at all, it was just a very short, unstructured conversation that didn't seem to provide much information about who I really am.
