Is that ok to ask at the end of an interview?

You're joking, right?

I believe that question is on the not-to-do list. It ranks somewhere up there with "Can I see what you're writing?"

But not as far up as "Can I see what you're wearing?"

I said the same thing to the person with whom I had this dispute with.

Thank you for the clarification.

This question reminds me of tv shows where the person bombs and then asks "Do you validate parking?"

My personal favorite:

"So.. when's orientation?"

Is it okay to ask the female interviewer for her number if you find her irresistibly attractive?

I'd be safe and stick with questions like: "So... in OMM lab, the girls don't wear shirts right?"

The reason its not ok to ask that is because you won't gain anything out of it. Most people are too afraid to tell you to your face that you sucked so there is no way for you to figure out if the response you get from them (i.e. you did fine) is genuine or fake.

At worst, it will make you look insecure and some interviewers won't like that.

Just don't do it. It's also like asking your date at the end of the date, "So, next time I will bring the lube and you bring the condoms?"

hmm well I know a guy who claimed that he asked the interviewer how he looked on is application and if he had a chance. To our suprise, the interviewer said that he had nothing to worry about and that the interview was just protocol! 😕

So after the interview it's not cool to ask when I will be receiving my full tuition scholarship in the mail?

That was her argument. She did get into the school where she asked her interviewers this question.

Quite the analogy lol.

I have interviewed for various jobs before and been the interviewer--in my interview, as I have with others, I ask "what objections do you have to ___________?" In this case "accepting me into PCOM".

This is not something to say if you are not prepared to overcome whatever objections or issues they may throw at you. In my case, I knew it was my MCAT score, which I had already addressed, but it gave me a chance to reiterate my points and to tie everything together. They actually said "we're giving you an honest answer because your question was so bold", but again, I would not say this unless you are really able to predict their outcome and overcome their issues.
