Northwestern HPME Part 1

<p>How many people interview us, just a staff and student? Do you guys feel pressure or are they pretty carefree?</p>

<p>rejected from HPME....</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>chicagonobel-- were you rejected after the interview?? I thought they notified us in April.... hm.</p>

<p>takingiteasy-- a student in the 5th year of HPME (2nd year med student) and a doctor/professor will interview you. It was very very very casual.</p>

<p>How long did your faculty interview last? There was so much dead time between the 2.</p>

<p>mine took like 45ish, 50ish minutes... i had to leave though to catch my flight, so i let my faculty interviewer know i had to leave at such and such time before we began</p>

<p>Huh?? "dead time between the 2"? What?
Faculty interview was like 30 minutes</p>

<p>mistaippa-- when was your interview?</p>

<p>Feb 3, and my dead time was like 1.5 hrs... i went to the water tower and did some shopping for the gf ha :)</p>

<p>hm... what is a dead time?? I didn't have one during my interview, as far as I know.. :)</p>

<p>pretty much it...good essays, at least i taught so.</p>

<p>rejected from Northwestern HPME too.....</p>

<p>What time were you're guys interviews? I had one at 9:30 which went for an hour.</p>

<p>For those of you who've already had your HPME interview, any tips on what to wear? I prepared a suit, so I hope that's not too formal--but I figured it's better to be a little bit over-dressed than under-dressed, haha.</p>

<p>when is your interview luvlykimmy ? what day?</p>

<p>Wed. Feb 23rd. And you?</p>

<p>so i was at northwestern last week, and to answer your question, luvlykimmy, a suit is just fine. evyerone was wearing it, except this kid who was wearing only khakis, and he stuck out.</p>

<p>SunnyinSoCal-- I also had my interview last week. When was yours?</p>

<p>it was on the 16th, in the morning. i hope i did well, given my not-so-strong stats</p>

<p>What were your stats, if you don't mind my asking?</p>
