When y'all tried to upload a photo, did it actually show up next to your name at the top left of the screen? I'm 99% sure my photo is a JPEG but I'm all neurotic bc it looks weird.

EDIT: by weird I mean a file sticker that says "me" under it rather than my picture.

Yes sorry I should have mentioned that, I guess they have you upload a photo to accept the interview

How risky Lmao

How risky Lmao

Kant’s philosophical treatment of mathematical knowledge comprised the bulk of the essay. I also incorporated a 'forbidden jutsu' for my closing sentence.

I didn't think mine was stressful; in fact, it was probably the most relaxed of all of my interviews. It might come down to which interviewer you get, but I don't think that's the norm here.

Can you please clarify - I am finding a PDF document for Mayo online which states it's a "behavioral interview" and has directions for replying using a method called S.H.A.R.E. However, I'm not seeing any information like that on their website. Do you know if this is old and still floating on the internet, and the interview format is now more conversational? Thanks for any information.

lol that is absolutely news to me. I interviewed in the 2020-2021 cycle and it was just two very conversational interviews. Where did you find that?

I’m sincerely hoping this is an older format, but when I searched for Mayo & interview format this comes up: https://www.mayoclinic.org/documents/preparing-for-a-behavioral-interview/doc-20150425

Ok, here's my take.

This doesn't sound new or novel. It just means that they ask you behavioral questions- which just about every single one of my med school interviews did anyway. "Tell me about a time when..." is fair game pretty much anywhere, so you should have something ready to go regardless. They're not going to ask you questions about experiences you haven't likely had.

Honestly, I can't remember the fine points of my interviews, but they may well have asked me some of these. It wasn't the whole interview though, and I just remember that they were pretty chill.

I guess tl;dr- don't let the weird acronym scare you; this isn't something new or scary. Just have examples of times you faced challenges, had disagreements, failed, etc. ready to go if needed for this interview and any other ones you do.

Are you sure this is for the school of medicine? Seems to me that this is used for hiring employees and doesn’t necessarily apply to Alix.

That's also a good point, but these types of questions are always fair game for med school interviews. Read the past ones on SDN- those are your best guide.
