38

<p>kpphy88, how was the interview experience for you?
what kind of questions did they ask?
Thanks!!!</p>

39

<p>you get 2 interviews; one w/ a med school faculty member, another w/ a college of arts and sciences faculty member . . . as for questions, it really depends on the professor you get.</p>

<p>use the search function. . . there are a lot of threads from years past that would answer a lot of these questions.</p>

<p>i was here by chance, so i probably won't be posting anymore. good luck!</p>
