Of course. So when you press the link they email you for the interview, you get sent to a zoom. then there were just some students that attend Sophie and they sent a link for like attendance then you were out into a breakout room with 1 student interview. Then you were put in a room with 1 professor. Then my last interview was with an Advisor. They asked pretty basic questions but during my second interview I remember he asked about dealing with difficult patients.
The interview was about 2 hours long.
Okay thank you. Did they ask you questions on your essay, extracurriculars, etc
?
Thank you so much for the information. Overall we’re the interviewers nice did they ask you any curve ball questions that were hard to answer. Thanks once again.
They asked about extracurriculars briefly and leadership but not really anything from my essay.
They were all nice. There weren’t really curveball questions. The questions they started off with was why did you choose to pursue medicine with all of the stress that the field requires and then they asked questions in response to answers you give them.
Oh wow. That’s great. But also quite surprising you weren’t asked about your essays. I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks for all your advice and for sharing out it truly means a lot.
Yeah I was shocked too. Thanks so much and Good luck to you too.
No problem at all.
You’re welcome. One last question do you know how many people they might interview this year or how many they have already?
Did you see other students who’ll get interviewed too?
Me too, I’m quite shock they didn’t ask about it.
Sorry, I don’t know how many interviews were done yet.
When I joined the Zoom meeting there were four other students that were getting interviewed as well.
Okay! I hope you get in
Hey. I know this might be overstepping but I wanted to ask if you could maybe share what your average was? Due to like COVID and everything and not having standardized testing Inwanted to see if gpa along with essays and everything will get you an interview? Also if you don’t want to you don’t have to say anything. I respect your privacy. I was just curious as so far you were the one that received an interview in the threads.
My gpa was not the best that’s why I was worried and wanted to ask.
I know you’re not asking me but I’ve seen old reddit & cc posts where the user doesnt have a perfect gpa (3.7ish, maybe lower) and lower regents grades (mid 80ish). but id say sophie is one the most holistic schools/programs there are!
You’re absolutely right!! I was just asking out of curiosity.
