<p>what examples of questions do they ask at interviews for high school students looking for early admission to medical school?</p>
<p>same question. I'm going to my first interview for the drew/umdnj program on friday so any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>BUMP...would like to know this too.</p>
<p>foodisgood...how was your interview? what'd they ask?</p>
<p>I've been on two interview so far,and basically the ask you regular question like:
why do you want to be a doctor
why are you choosing the program instead of the regular route
they ask you basic questions about your high school--like what are the pros and cons and how you like your school
what are the most significant activities you're involved it
if you have any medical experience
why you like that undergraduate school</p>
<p>That's the gist of questions that I've been asked so far.
Hope that helps.</p>
<p>pretty much what cheetah said. I've been to three interviews and they all varied in difficulty. Drew was a joke, Stevens was brutal, and TCNJ was pretty good. Watch out for spot questions, "Use three words to describe yourself and explain why (from the stevens interview)."</p>
<p>hey foodisgood. was stevens brutal just because of the spot questions? i read somewhere that these interviews will ask you questions about current medical topics. is this true?</p>
<p>well at stevens, the interviewer kept digging deep and it was a little unnerving. And she never warned me about the spot questions, like they came out of nowhere. The interview itself lasted a long time and while she seemed friendly, I just didn't feel the same type of bond as I felt with my other interviewers. In general, they don't really ask about medical topics that much, they just ask why you want to go to the BS/MD program.</p>
<p>yeah i just had my albany/amc interviews. needless to say they were pretty brutal. id suggest anyone getting ready for an interview prep on things like hmos, future of healthcaare, abortion. it also helps to have a plan because it makes it easier to almost direct the interviewer's questions. and if u say something, make sure u know what u said and why u said it and always have specific examples. those questions killed me. hope tht helps. peace</p>
<p>ouch, doesn't sound too good. thanks for the tips.</p>
<p>oh wow yeah, thanks for the heads up!</p>
<p>does anybody know how you're supposed to dress for an interview? the alumni interviews tend to be more casual, but whats appropriate for interviews with professors and doctors?</p>
<p>i asked my dad what i should wear and he says that wearing pants is rude (i'm a girl...) =</p>
<p>well i wore a pant suit (im a girl too) and the majority of girls at my interviews last year wore slacks as well. try to look professional. skirts work too (just not too short).</p>
