most bizarre interview moment?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

if you get this nervous sitting close to another man, I'd hate to see you the first time you have to disimpact a man.

"I have to stick what where?!?!?":confused: :eek:

During my interview day, I went to one of the small group 2nd year seminars. The topic that day happened to be erectile dysfunction. The presenting doctor and students were very welcoming.

They were looking @ slides of various male devices for treatment options, and there were some snickers throughout the room. Halfway through, the doctor said, "Here's one of a broken penis." There was a second of silent horror, then he said, "Actually, I superimposed a bone slide onto this one!" And everybody just lost it. All I could think of was SDN's pubocockus bone thread from last year! OMG! :D

She wore HUNTER GREEN?!?! I wonder what color her cockring was...

When I was halfway through answering a question from one interviewer, another interviewer asked, out of nowhere, "Can horses throw-up?" WTF? I don't know a thing about horses, and nothing on my application should have indicated that I did. Anyway, come to find out I knew more than her. I hate horses, and I almost went down that "axe-murderer" path that everyone warned me about.

Not that funny, but i wish it didn't happen . . .



At umd, my interviewer asked me what books i had read lately. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but i had just finished the harry potter books. He raised an eyebrow, so i tried to explain that i'm doing 2 yrs of grad school in 9mos, so i like not having to think about what i read in my spare time. He asked me to describe the plot of my favorite. I did a quick overview using "the bad guy" instead of character names. He interrupted me 1/2 way through and spit out a detailed summary then went on for like 5 minutes about how bad the books are because the author doesn't give clues and pulls the ending out of nowhere. Politely I tried to disagree (I mean - c'mon - have you all read the books - you can def. tell what's gonna happen) but before i could finish the word "disagree" he looked at his watch and said the interview was over. grr. . . shoulda just said i'm illiterate.

Oh gosh..i was asked what books I hadread recently and I too had just finished reading the Harry Potter series and thats the first thing that popped in my head and so I told my interview that. Right after I said that..I thought to myself why the heck did i say that, he is goign to think im an absolute ******. To my surprise..my interviewer had read the books too and told me how he liked them !
 
interviewer: "so your MCAT score is pretty awful... are u planning to retake it?"
me:"..."
interviewer: "hahaha... i'm j/k" -columbia

Interviewer:"how many blacks are there at [my college]?"
me:"er... not a lot."
interviewer: "how many hispanics?"
me: "hmm.. quite few"
interviewer: "how many asians?"
me:"not many"
interviewer: "what's it like being a minority?"
me thinking "wtf..." -ucsf

This really old guy comes out and calls out this girl's name. When she stands up, he takes one look at her and says: "I'm sorry I don't think we can accept you, seeing as to how you're wearing green". Everybody else there (14-15 of us) just happened to be wearing black.
Everybody started laughing but I don't think the girl got the joke cause she had this stunned look on her face, was blushing heavily, trying to force herself to giggle.

:laugh: please see
"the Official, Why HUNTER GREEN is an inappropriate color for an interview thread"
 
Interviewer: Hi, *looks at file* Sweet Tea, I'm your non-voting committee member, so this interview will be pretty relaxed and is just to let you know about the school and answer any questions you might have.
ST: nice to meet you
Interviewer: Oh, I see you took "pathology of blood diseases". Tell me about anemia.
ST: *gulp* uh...there's an intrinsic and an extrinsic pathway...mmm...it's bad...uh...er...
Interviewer: (without missing a beat) Oh, I see you made a C in chemistry your freshman year. How do you expect to hack it in med school if you're making Cs in chemistry?
ST: that was 6 years ago...my study habits have improved since then and if you look at my other grades and MCAT scores you'll see that my grades have improved since that time...6 years ago.
Interviewer: Oh, I see you work in arthritis research. Let me tell you about my hands. *goes on about hands for 45 minutes*

thankfully, my second interview of the day was much smoother than that one.
 
So, I don't know if too many people can rival me on this one:
For the University of Arizona, you have two interviews, one at the University and one with a "community physician." Well, I ended up having my community physician interview scheduled on New Years Eve (wierd in itself) at the hospital I had done over 600hrs. of volunteer work while in high school. Needless to say, I wasn't too stressed about getting there or finding the interview location, but I still gave myself a good fourty-five minute of flexibility time to account for any unexpected events.

Sooo, I was driving along to my interview, when suddenly the street ahead of me was closed and I have to detore south, into wall to wall traffic with no street to escape. I figured there was just an accident and it would clear up. Well, little did I know, that the bloody Fiesta Bowl PARADE was going on down the Central street down town, right where I needed to cross to get to the hospital. I was frantic and kept trying to find a secret way around it. I even pulled over to ask a police man on a horse how to get around it (I was about to ask him if he could just let me hope on the back of his horse and give me a ride to the hospital!). Long story short, when I finally got to the hospital, my interviewer had left!!! You cannot imagine a more devestating moment. Also, given that it was New Years, there was no way to get a hold of anyone at the admissions office to let them know what happened.

In the end, everything worked out...I was given another interview that actually turned out to be my strongest interview yet. Strange as it sounds, I think the parade disaster actually helped it. If anything, it has made me known at the admissions office. The girl living in Canada, applying to Arizona, who had a parade stop her from getting to her interview.

If I actually get off the waitlist, it will be a great story to tell my grandkids, though it was certainly NOT funny at the time ;)
 
Ok, I may be a PhD applicant, but our interviews are similar.

I'm in this woman's office, and she's telling me (lengthily) about her research (Tuberculosis). She's just had a baby (it's 3 weeks old) and she didn't go on leave after she had it, so it's in the office with us. About halfway through the interview, the baby starts crying, so, while continuing to tell me about her research, she starts NURSING THE BABY right in front of me. She then starts asking me questions, which i have difficulty answering because A) this woman is nursing her child in front of me and B) the baby is sucking very loudly. The rest of the interview continued like this until time was finally up.
 
so many funny stories:laugh:

That is hilarious.:laugh: I can't believe she just took IT out in the middle of your interview. Part of me wonders if it was a test of how you'd react.

It's probably a good thing you aren't a MD applicant ;)

Not really a bizarre moment, just fortuitous. My interviewer introduced himself as Dr. X and began asking me standard questions. I recognized his name as an author of an editorial I had read in the local newspaper about a month earlier. I casually asked him if he was the Dr. X that had written the editorial on health care in Peru. He stopped asking me questions, looked surprised, stated I was one of two who had probably read the article, and proceeded to tell me all about his research. Needless to say, I am two months shy of graduating with an MD from this school.

Retracting my scathing comment - sorry, I'm sleep-deprived and crabby. It actually is a really funny story. :)
 
Oh my gosh, I just finished reading every single post in this thread... thanks for a MUCH needed laugh and break from studying for midterms. :laugh:
 
Ok, so I was interviewing with this old urologist at this school, and he asks me: "What do you like to do on your spare time?". So, I reply, "Um, honestly, I like to watch tv".
He then asks me "So, what's your favorite TV show?".
Of course, I reply "Well, I've loved Seinfeld since I was like eight."
He then says: "OH, that's great. Cause, my daughter is on that show... she plays Elaine Bennis....."

How random is that????

btw, I checked online, and confirmed that the urologist wasn't just senile; he really is Julia Louis Dreyfus' dad.
 
OH MY GOSH. THAT IS THE BEST STORY EVER. I'M SO SO SO SO JEALOUS!!!

I can vouch for this one! I believe I was at the interview where the person came back into the room with the other interviewees and asked the person coordinating the interviews if this was true!

My most bizaare interview moment came at another school where the person interviewing me spent most of the interview telling me all about her favorite hobby, which was breeding cats. During my interview, she even received phone calls from people who were interested in the animals that she was advertising in national magazines. Actually, she was very nice lady and I had an interesting conversation with her.
 
I probably wouldn't have begun reading this most excellent thread unless others had kept BUMPing it up...I feel obligated to do the same...I can't imagine interviews are still taking place, though...a good read nonetheless

Sorry, I don't know how this relates but it popped in my head.

LOL, that was a funny movie!!
 
During one of my panel interviews (2 Women and a much older man), the older dude started asking me about my research. I mentioned that the project I was working on involved training rhesus monkeys.

Him: "So then, why do you want to get an MD instead of a Ph.D?"

Me: "Well, I actually want to do clinical research with human primates vs. non-human primates."

Him: "Well, why would you want to do that? At least the damn monkeys won't sue you!"

Me: Very nervous laughter (notice, he's not really laughing)

Then, a little bit later on in the conversation he starts reminiscing about his days in medical school (remember he's the only guy in the room at this time)...

Him: " Well... I remember while I was in medical school there were only 10 women in my class. We called them the token ten - because the school had to let in at least ten women, they would always hang around eachother..."

As I listened to him talk - I kept saying to myself -- Please go somewhere constructive with this, please, please have a point to this conversation. Please don't make me get all liberal and fired up on his a$$! -- He basically ended up concluding that there seem to be more women active in research and medicine today...

The other two women in the room were sitting in shocked silence until finally one of them said,

"Well, now it looks like you're surrounded!"

I coudln't help but smile.

!!! I think I had her too! No phone calls though. :) Have you heard anything yet?
 
Damn you all for having funny stories! Reading this whole thread took up two hours of my afternoon!

Hehe. Well done.

Was this at MMC? No, I haven't heard anything yet, but I only interviewed about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Here, she was, getting these cat calls and I am sitting on this stool in front of her desk while she is talking about the money associated with breeding animals. I did not know whether to excuse myself or what! I just sat there and tried to entertain myself by looking at the titles of all of the books that she had on the shelves next to me!:) I think that I would really like to take a class that she was teaching, I bet it would be a lot of fun because she is quite a character!

When I interviewed at BU, this ER doc who was apparently had absolutely no idea what the healthcare system was like up in Canada. (FYI, I'm from Montreal, QC, Canada). He proceeds to ask me, "so is everyone insured for healthcare in Canada?" I went on to answer a simple "Yes." And then he looks me in the eye, with his elbows propped up on the desk, and with this evil look and his voice sounding so very much like that of Mr.Burns from the Simpsons, he goes "E~X~C~E~L~L~E~N~T" while drumming his fingers together. I swear, he looked so much like the real Mr.Burns, I had the chills going down my spine!

I would have loved to have seen that!
 
My student interview at my first choice school started off in regular fashion, with casual get-to-know-you conversation. Then, when the topic of my current activiites arose (I took a year off to work), I explained that I do research at the Eye and Ear Institute across the street (the same University system).

She slightly cocked her head to the side quizzically, and responded, "really, what floor?" Her sudden interest in particulars peaked my curiousity, and I told her where I worked. Resuming the natural orientation of her neck, she she asked, "really, who do you work for?"

This had narrowed things down quite a bit; there are but a handful of researches on my floor, and clearly she had a connection. My excitement surfaced with a sly smile. "Dr. so and so," I replied. :D

"NO WAY!," she blurted out. "I'm seriously considering rotating through his lab this summer!" "I just visited the lab last Thursday." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I was dumbfounded because we hadn't crossed paths during her visit. Nevertheless, over the next 15min we talked about the coincidence of our meeting like this, the atmosphere in the lab, our ongoing research projects, and related topics.

Well, as it turns out. I must have left a good impression, because starting June 1 she will be joining us as a rotating MD/PhD student. As for myself, I was eventually waitlisted...but my hopes are high...

It should be interesting going to happy hours with my student interviewer this summer...

Most of my interviews were fairly tame, but I have an absolutely horrible one from when I visited UTMB in Galveston(great school, though). From the minute I walked in I could tell he was not at all happy to see me. I sit down and he flips through my application for an awkward 3-4 minutes. I guess he read I went to a private religious university because he went into this tirade about how private religious schools produce fundamentalist idiots. It was very insulting but I kept silent. When he had finished, he looked up at me and decided, I suppose, that he wanted to prove his point.
He actually began quizzing me about his research: some sort of molecular genetics. Whenever I got an answer right, he would press me with greater detail until I finally said "I don't know."
Whenever this happened he leaned back in his chair shaking his head and his thick East Indian accent had a tone of triumph:
"ohhh... they no teach you this"

It was awful, but this idiot from a private religious university got into medical school anyway--> UT Houston!
 
Hi,

It was my first interview, and everything was going really well during the first 10 minutes.

My interviewer asked about research I had done, and I explained to him that I did quite a bit of work in bioinformatics, which he wasn't very familiar with. So, I went on and on talking about microarrays and databases, etc., and he was really excited about everything I was telling him. I also told him about the aspects of the school which appealed to me the most, and my motivation for wanting to pursue medicine -- more successes.

Then, he asked me about a current health-related issue with legal, political, and/or ethical implications. I thought I had prepared for this very well, and I started talking about the stem cell and human cloning debate. Probably not the wisest choice of topics. Anyways, the conversation went to abortion -- big mistake! -- and he noticed a contradiction in my views on the matter with my previous research experiences (particularly, with what I told him on other research projects in the lab). There wasn't really a contradiction, I had just misspoke when explaining the research my lab was involved with. Instead of telling him that I misspoke earlier, I just stared at the ceiling trying to come with something to say for what seemed like an endless awkward silence. Finally, I tried to weasel my way out of this trap (which I pretty much setup for myself) and rambled on for about 15 minutes until my interviewer took the conversation into another direction.

At that point, however, my nerves were pretty rattled by my act of self-sabotage. He asked me a question that got me talking about my volunteering experiences. Halfway through my answer, I realized that I had completely forgotten what he had asked me (I still can't remember), so I abruptly ended my answer and just kinda gave him a goofy grin.

After a short awkward silence, he asked me about my siblings. I explained to him that they had gone to an international medical school right after high school ("Yeah, those international medical schools accept students right after high school," he interjects). I tried to explain to him how that wasn't the thing for me because I discovered my interest in medicine late, but I think it came out as a rip on international medical schools. Anyways, after a grueling 45 minutes, he asked if I had any questions for him. I asked him what he liked most about the school, to which he responded tersely, "How would I know? I'm not a student here." I had some more questions planned for him, but I felt from his response that he was pretty pissed off at me, probably because I had just wasted 45 minutes of his life.

I was pretty bored while on the train back home, so I started thumbing through the information packets the school gave us. At the very back was a listing of the school's faculty and their medical education. Under my interviewer's name was the following:

"M.D. 77 Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara, Mexico"

I'm currently waitlisted there.

My first interview was the worst. I was sitting in the interviewer's office, trying to maintain eye contact and listen carefully, to really take in the moment. She was a PhD. On my AMCAS I had listed a research project which I had been connected with for a year, but due to IRB problems, we had not actually begun work with our subjects. My interviewer asked me what the hypothesis of the research was. GULP. I had no idea! So, I tried to say something "Well, we look at breast cancer and stress hormones to see how they work." Pathetic answer, I know, but I was a nervous wreck! She responded "Well I assume someone is funding this project." "Yes, we have a grant." "I'm sure they asked for a better hypothesis than that." Needless to say, I spent the rest of the hour trying to dig myself out of the hole. As the interview ended, she walked me to the back of the building to show me how to catch the bus back to the medical center. As she points out the stop, I fall down five steps and land face first in the grass. I stood up, brushed off my suit and said "You can dress me up, but you can't take me anywhere." And that was the lasting impression I left with her.

When I got home, I figured out what the hypothesis of the research was and prepared a great response to the question. Too bad I was never asked about it in any of my other interviews!

So......did you get in?
 
one of the funniest threads around:) :clap:
had to bump
 
Ok, this actually makes me the stupid one, but I'll tell it anyways. My interviewer didn't have a sense of humor AT ALL, which i found out after making a couple jokes to ease the tension. So I succumb to him reading off the school's list of questions without trying to be interesting at all in my responses in a sort of mechanical fashion. Then he asks, " What did you dislike most about your undergrad" By this point I was just responding automatically without much thought cause I figured it was going horribly. So my gut answer was, "All the professors who are there just for the research and couldn't care less about the students, and are in fact forced to teach" He finally looks up at me and says, "I have a phd, I'm only here for the research, and I hate teaching med students but I'm required to ":mad: So i just smile at him and said something like, "I guess I'll just never get away from you guys" He finally smiles like he's got me cornered, but I responded well to his followup questions, allowing him to return to his sheet.
Then he asks me to discuss the white coat, and I'm like uh??, so he says, yeah, the white coat, what do you think about it? Keep in mind this was my first interview and I'm still obsessed with my great new outfit. So I'm like, really enthusiastically and sincere, "Yeah, they're great. Keeps your nice clothes from getting dirty or spilled on" He almost fell out of his seat from laughing. I felt like such an airhead.
As i was leaving, the last thing i said was "see ya later" but i stammered, and instead of just leaving it at that, I continue with "I mean...next year" At this point i was like, holy s**t, but stupid me goes to add in "you know, if i get in" I just turned around and walked away feeling like i couldn't have been more idiotic.
I did get an acceptance there..go figure.
 
I don't know if you would call this bizarre, but, my second interviewer at one school forgot about the appointment. I waited for 45 minutes outside his office and finally he walks up and starts unlocking his office door, totally oblivious that I am standing there in my official black skirt and white blouse interview outfit. I finally said something like, "Excuse me, are you Dr. ____________?". He turned around and looked at me with this horrified expression and said, "Oh god, did I have an interview today?" The actual interview went really well, but he wasn't prepared so it started out a little rocky. He obviously didn't have time to read my file just then, so he starts out with the "tell me about yourself" question to buy himself a few minutes to get it together. This is one of those questions were are supposedly ready for, but instead I start out with school, and then, no, go back to why I went to school, and then and then, like I'm on a time warp loop or something. Finally, he and I both got our **** together. He turned out to be a really great guy and I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the interview.

At the first school I interviewed, the second interviewer was a fourth year medical student. He was so nervous (far more nervous than I was) that I ended up being in the position of trying to put him at ease during the interview. That was weird.

I did get accepted to both schools, though.
 
This was not a med school interview, but I thought it was amusing.

The interview was for an admin job at a small software company. It was a crappy job that I was never really that excited about it.
But at the time I needed a job, so I feigned enthusiasm.

After handshakes and sitting down, this is how the interview started
Interviewer (a cute girl in glasses, slightly older than me): You look very nice in your suit.
Me (a little surprised): Um, Thanks.
Int: Most people we interview don't wear suits.
Me: Well, I got this suit not too long ago, and I figure why have it if you're not going to wear it to job interviews and the like.

After that the interview continued fairly normally. It was very relaxed. My interviewer and I hit it off and I left feeling encouraged.

I got to thinking, so several days later I called her back.

Me: Hi, this is 1dharma.
I hadn't even stated my purpose, when she jumped in
Int: We haven't made a decision about the admin position yet. We hope to have an offer out in the next few days.
Me: Actually. . . I wasn't calling about the job. I wanted to know if you'd like to have dinner with me?
!@#$%

I caught her off guard. Unfortunately, here the story ends: I got neither the job nor the date. She had a boyfriend of five years. No big loss . . .
 
i feel you. i like that slick, reckless approach to personal fulfillment. and women do that to the best of us... :love:
 
OK, this one goes out to the applicants to the Class of 2008:

I DARE SOMEBODY TO ASK THEIR MED SCHOOL INTERVIEWER OUT

The 2007 applicants got to enjoy Silvercholla's "parents are funny" thead, and the only way the 2008 applicants can top that is to wontonly ask out their interviewers and post the responses here.
 
WOW! I just finish reading this whole thread and ALL the stories are very entertaining to say the least... I hope that my interviews (if I get any when I apply...) will be at least half as fun as some of these.
 
Hmm...so far the most bizarre/embarrassing moment was at one interview two weeks ago. Trying to show my punctuality and dedication, i arrived at the interview site ~ 5 minutes early. he was still interviewing with another person. after 10 mins, she comes out and he follows, looks at me and sort of growls, terminator-esque, "wait here. i'll be back." a long period of waiting follows where i'm deflated, wondering whether i made a mistake by coming too early--shouldn't i have known he'd need a break in b/t interviews? etc. etc. finally he comes and i follow him inside. he seems kind of frazzled & stern at the same time, like he's nervous but trying to act like he's cool. he extends his hand out and i, mustering up my confidence, reach out to try to shake his hands. after all i've read about the importance of a firm and steady handshake--just the right amount of squeeze, confidence, and precision. except....our hands miss (ouch, embarrassment :oops: ) and then i try again, and our hands miss again...and i think at this point both of us are flustered and i'm apologizing and trying not to burst out laughing. but finally we manage to get a weird grip (my fingers are like half-on his thumb) and the handshake occurs.

the rest of the interview was semi-normal to okay...except he kept interrupting my answers, kept writing furiously, and seemed strangely nervous. i have absolutely no idea to this day how the interview went...
