I'm kinda nervous about the interview but I heard you pretty much get it as long as your GPA is above 3.0.

and i also need help about what kind of questions would be asked...

Hey see ya there. Best of luck

Questions asked..

OK.. so after hours of research, i have found out the questions in the interview might be about:

1. why you want to be a doctor
2. how you're going to finance your education
3. what the last book you read was
4. topical questions about medicine/ any research that you've done
5. what you like to do with your free time
6. most recent Nobel prize winner/ what research he/she has done
7. What you like to read for fun.

so.. anything else anyone would like to add to this list???

I really think all these schools in Poland are the same. Be careful with transfers as it can cause problems with licensure later. But yes you can transfer and some people have done it. Someone in my class transfered out and I believe is now coming back.

Also in the interview questions, you should expect them to talk about any reference letters. Or anything you put in your application that sets you apart from the others.

Otherwise normal interview questions, if you are a normal college age student. My questions were slated towards my age (older) and previous work (paramedic/firefighter and college professor). Really no standard questions in my interview. The interview is really not a big deal.

O jeez, thank god you guys have pointed out that the interview is held at Dobbs Ferry. I was always under the impression that it would be at the same place that we send out application to. But upon reviewing the letter they sent me, Dobbs Ferry is the place. I dont know if i would've checked the letter again. Thank god this forum exists...

There arene't many good hotel's around. You have to travel a little out to find something okay. Well, at least the place where I stayed was pretty scary. But they allowed dogs so it worked for us.

Also, there is a diner now far. We had lunch there right after the interview. I have to say that the food was pretty good.
