Well it's good to see another UW fan out there.. lol, they're not exactly doing too well this year, so lets keep the husky football talk to a minimum.

What year did you graduate from UW microphage? How far along are you at MUA?

I graduated in March 2001 in biochemistry. How about you?

I'm actually a student at AUC(4th semester). (I have nothing better to do than surf every forum.... sad life I live.. haha)

I just scheduled a phone interview for the premed program? Has anyone had one? What do they ask? any advice?

They ask you the basics really. Tell us a little about yourself, why you want to go to med school etc. Remember they already have your statement, your grades, etc. so they know alot about you already. Just be calm and you should be fine. It doesn;t take long, and it is very relaxed (so long as you are relaxed too!).

Mr. MUA

Ps. No matter how many people told me that before my interview I still spent days preparing for it... my advice to you though... dont make that mistake... you will see what I mean after its done :-)

My interview took ten minute, easy!!!

Hi all:

I have been reading the value md website for a while and have been trying to research some of the schools that I have applied to and will be applying to in the near future. I have a phone interview on Thurs with MUA and I am curious as to what others have experienced for phone interviews. I usually interview well, but I am unsure of the phone format. Are the questions similiar to "typical" med school interviews? I have tried to go back as far as I can and can not find any answers to these questions....all the threads that have links in them for answers I have tried and the links come up with webpage not found. Any answers would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

The phone interview is really an informal process. I was simply asked some standard 'med school' interview questions, such as "Why do you want to become a doctor?", and "Why do you think you'd be an asset to the school?". Besides these questions, the majority of the interview deals with the question of whether or not you will be able to live on the island, as well as if you can afford the cost of going to medical scool. I think the total time of my interview was about 15 minutes, and since I was in an urgent situation, they even told me over the phone that they were comfortable in admitting me to the school. So my advice is, don't sweat it too much, just enjoy the process.

I am going to apply to MUA this week after I get paid... I am wondering does MUA interview everyone or just the people they are interested in like US schools? Also, What is the average MCAT since they don't require it?

I have an interview on the 28th.... KInd of nervous. Wish me luck!
