Mock Interview could be better
I really appreciate the time the med student interviewers invested in my interview prep (1.5 hr for the first session and ~1 hr for the second session). I'd like to give my honest feedback because I think the team will appreciate it. Instead of spending 45 min of our mock interview asking me question after question, I'd appreciate it more if the interviewers had focused on some of the common questions and gave me feedback right after each question (at least for the first interview session) because personally, that's all I need. For example, it would be best if we had gone over common questions 2-3 times. The interviewers were very set on how they wanted to do the mock interview (non-stop 45-min interview following with a 15-30 min feedback). I felt like they did not want to listen to me and customize the mock interview experience. Maybe this works for someone else but not for me. In my actual interviews with the medical schools, I was only asked common questions such as "why medicine", "why this school", "strength and weakness" so I wish we had gone through these questions more instead of difficult, ethical questions. Also, the "introduction/ strategy" session is supposed to be 30 min. In reality, it was only 3-5 min in which the first interviewer read what was in the interview prep package that they sent us. Overall, I really appreciate their help. I think they do care and try their best. I just wish they are more flexible in how they run interviews.
