My interviews went well!
Student: Laid back and relaxed. What was your biggest accomplishment? Why do you want to go to a school in Connecticut and not Texas? What are you most proud of? Tell me about X activity? Why did you do this? When you get accepted, how will you adjust to living in Connecticut?
Faculty: Old School MD from the 90s: Nice, but firm and had questions and questioned my motives for medicine. Why Netter? Why Medicine? What if you don't get into this cycle? Do you want to be a professor? Do you want to shadow me when you get here?
Why haven't you shadowed anyone aside from this doctor on your application? What would you say is the biggest weakness in your application? What are you most proud of? What do you do in your free time? If you had to choose between UT Southwestern and Quinnipiac, who would you pick (didn't get the II for UTSW yet, so this was kinda easy).
What are some of the issues in US Medicine that you see and what is your role as a physician to help combat that? How will you adjust to being a medical student? You'll be far from your family, so how will you adjust to not having your family next to you?
What is your biggest regret in life? How would your friends describe you as? Do you have any friends? Where did you meet them? I noticed that your application had experiences that aren't really meant for a med school application. You have honors and awards that are common to all med school applicants. What makes you different, and how will you contribute to Netter?
Aside from the MD interviewer, everything was chill. He was honestly a nice guy! He seemed genuinely invested in me and wanted to screen me to make sure I was a human and was genuine in my experiences. I value that from him!!
Also: Quinnipiac interviewers are blind; sees only secondary and primary statement. Sees some activities--> blind to MCAT, grades, school attended, LORs, or GPA.
