Interview Question
Started by docroo123
A lot of times, if there was something I wanted to know about a school, I would ask them at the interview. I found that this led to me receiving information about a given topic.
Smartass
You should research whatever school you're going to and see if there's anything more you would like to know. Think about all the things you need to know about the school before you are willing to devote 4 years of your life to it.. you should come across something.. there's no set checklist for what you should ask because each school is different and not every person is going to want the same thing.
Indeed. But I'm still right. Find out what you want to know about the school, and ask. It can really be anything. There aren't certain questions that the interviewers want to hear from you, and I don't think you should ask questions just for the sake of asking questions.
Hmm. I never knew about this; I'm going to try it when it comes time for my interviews.
Agreed. If I didn't have any questions, or if I had questions and they were already answered, I said that.
He's right. And OP...you're a bit of an idiot for having to ask this without researching.
I'll give you my two favorite as a gift of pity:
1) (For student) What surprised you most about medical school?
2) (For admin) If you had carte blanche to change one thing about Med School X what would it be?
