💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

I forgot exactly but it was something like why is the patient’s religious background important in the context on medicine? For MMI what would you say to someone in grief with follow up questions?
Tell me about yourself? Why medicine? Why osteopathic medicine? What are the most important qualities in a doctor?
Your friend asks if they can copy your work for a project CASPER kinda deal

What was the most interesting question?

Essay prompt asking if a commitment to a program for rural care for med students should be enforced? In traditional, what is one question I haven’t asked that you’d like to address?

What was the most difficult question?

I thought the essay and group interview were tough. Group interview involved organizing pictures and you had to figure out that it was based on how zoomed out it was and organize it from most zoomed out to most zoomed in

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practice over Zoom with someone from Facebook group for MMI and Traditional. Everything else I don’t think you can prepare for tbh

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very welcoming and met some really cool people.

What impressed you negatively?

Having 4 interviews in one. Serving spaghetti when we had formal attire on. Also reapplicants had an advantage in the group activity since they reuse it. Traditional interview felt rushed with only 15 minutes to answer multiple questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The order of the interviews are randomized

What are your general comments?

Don’t stress too much. Prepare for Traditional and MMI but just try your best, it was pretty fair. Nothing like Tell Me about this experience or why you got a low MCAT/B- in physics kinda deal

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
