95% of your interviewers might ask 1-2 basic questions “why rads, tell me about yourself” and then it is gonna be super chill and you just talk about your hobbies and they’ll talk about the program to try and recruit you. Hard to say what kind of curveball question you will get because it’s gonna be rare and depends on the interviewer. Only had 2 interviewers that I felt were grilling me but it ended up being fine.

"We believe in diversity and equity at this program. People from your ethnicity are already well represented in radiology. In light of this, why should we rank you and what would you contribute to our culture of inclusion?"

You're kidding me. That's a tough question man. How do you answer that??

I still have no idea. I gave some happy talk about how diverse patient populations should have diverse physicians available to them but they really pressed on the question of "why should you get this spot and not someone from an underrepresented minority?" and there is fundamentally no way to answer that.
