"Why did you not take a gap year?" was a question posed to me by an interviewer at a T5 school about a month ago. She did acknowledge that the question was "perhaps unfair". I looked around at fellow interviewees—partially looking for inspiration and partially gauging whether I would even have...

Here are some questions that can be asked in an interview. Some of these questions I got asked when I did a few interviews. I'm also going to post some side notes of my experiences and tips with interviewing so y'all can get an idea of whats to come and what you can take away from it. Tell me...

When your interviewer asks if you have any questions, you don’t want to come up empty! Since your goal should be to come up with questions that are specific to your situation, I can’t give you a list of must-ask questions without knowing who YOU are. But here are a few sample questions that you...

So I was just waitlisted at New York Medical College today, and although I can't say that it was one of my top choices, I am a bit bummed and worried about my interview skills. I didn't think this interview went amazingly (although I did have a pretty bad experience with one of the MMI...

Hi! I was just hoping if people had any information on these Chicago programs that would be super helpful. I've applied to the ones below and haven't heard back from all of them yet. I saw there was another thread that was titled Chicago programs but all the comments were deleted. I'm not...

I hope this is not redundant, as I was unable to find a similar topic via search. I am currently applying for residency and did an away rotation. Going into the rotation, that program was high on my list (hence why I did the rotation), but after rotating there I am not interested in the...
