#2494Feb 21

honestly worst interview experience so far. Wonder how much this is reflective of the program culture as a whole and them being on a high horse just because they are Harvard>nah bro dont tease. what was the question

Will check in EOB for the tea. But to everyone interviewing, you got this!! You’ve worked insanely hard, and if you’re interviewing, you have a good shot at matching

The questions were just really odd, specific behavioral ones. Every single one of them was a question I had never been asked / haven't been asked since and I've had a good number of derm interviews so far. Just kind of threw you off and you end up rambling. Probably was their goal so i guess they achieved it. But the questions weren't like unprofessional or anything

ok i'm n = 1 but i disagree with this one i don't think it's odd specific behavioral but maybe i've had some overlapping interview q's. also the attendings are good vibes

I rambled so much and half the time didn't answer the actual question :/

Agreed with the left, they were specific where you couldn't really fit your prepped examples to the question, so you're left trying to come up with an example on the fly. Sometimes I felt like I didn't really have a good example that would make for a reasonable story

for the past like 3 months i've been talking with my BF/GF about stuff related to this dang journey and how i've been processing some of the more difficult things that happened, and legit about 4 of the questions' answers just came from those discussions. those questions were HARD though but the attendings were so nice that you didn't feel like you did badly lol

I thought mayo was way worse, questions felt like the hunger games and at least harvard people were nice after you answered the question
