5)What schools did you apply to; what will be your deciding factor in selecting your school. 6)Do you have any questions for us. (Make sure you are prepared to ask like 3 or 4 very well thought out questions, this can really help you and the interviewers have a better discussion) Also, don't sweat the MCAT. My score was real low and they didn't even ask one question about it. Be prepared just incase, but once you're there, it means that they are looking past all of those weaknesses that you see in yourself.

What are your general comments?

The interview was great. There were two groups of interviewers. One was the financial aid director and a family practice physician and the other was the assistant financial aid director and a cardiologist. Both groups were very relaxed and asked similar questions. Some questions that others were asked that were not asked of me were 1)tell us about the history of osteopathic medicine and what you know about it 2)what body part did AT Still study (trick question, answer is none, he focused on the whole body).
