Hi Everyone

I am invited for interview at Ross? Could anyone please tell me the kind of questions that are being asked and how it goes? I am kind of worried.

Also I want to ask them to consider me for the summer and not for Jan 07 (I am being interviewed for January right now). should i tell this to my interviewer or wait till after the acceptance or call them before hand about it. I would greatly appreciate your answers.

Thank you

Hey,

there are a lot of threads about the interview and if you do not want others to be rude to you just search this forum. You should tell the interviewer that if the jan class is full you would like to be considered for the summer....do not be nervous! Where is your interview?

good luck

Thanks, I will look it up. It is in Miami.

You should go and see the campus, may be talk to current students about Ross...you are going to be spending your 5th sem there! Recomendation: when you are on this forum...disregard all the negative comments, they just show how incorrect some of the med students are!!!

Hope to see you in Jan!!!!

"Don’t freak out. Stay calm and composed. The interviewer will inform you that he/she is not the one to make the admissions decision but it is rather a Committee who decides your fate. However, he/she will take notes during the interview and write a summary, which will be sent to this Committee. Incidentally, during a recent Ross University Open House held in NY the following statistics were cited: “If you have been granted an interview, there is a 65% chance that you will gain admittance to Ross University School of Medicine.” So the interview is somewhat important. Dress professionally; be well groomed, and well mannered.
Be able to answer the following:

Again:

Most important question:
Why do you want to be a doctor?
What motivates you to pursue this field?
What makes you unique?
What other field would you choose if you do not get accepted to any Medical School (Caribbean or otherwise)?

What do you think would be the hardest part of the medical school curriculum for you and why?
What are your study habits?
What field of medicine interests you most and why?
What do you know about Ross and why did you choose to apply here?
What other schools have you applied to?
What else would you like to tell the Committee about yourself that is not included in your essay or application?
Do you have any questions?


My overall advice for the interview? Just BE the 3 C’s: Confident, Calm, and Courteous.
And KNOW the 3 E’s: Your Essay, Experiences, and Expectations."

These helped me tremedously and nothing else was asked. All the questions came out of this list. Enjoy and good luck.

Thank you
