⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
I would consider going here. However, I'm not entirely convinced on the effectiveness of OMM. There is very little science behind it and the few studies performed are not of high quality. Overall, not a bad experience but I am glad I have interviews elsewhere.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about yourself. Why TCOM?
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing particularly interesting. One interviewer asked what I thought of stem cell research and animal research.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed TCOM website, interview feedback, read up on ethical issues, watched the news, took a look at JAMA
What was the most difficult question?
One interviewer was a cardiac surgeon. He asked how the DO philosophy can be used in his type of setting.
What impressed you positively?
Administrative staff are very friendly. The student ambassadors were very helpful and lunch was great. The campus is small, very safe, and has a friendly atmosphere.
What impressed you negatively?
One of my interviewers was a jerk. (He's a surgeon so it comes with the turf). He had a meeting to go to and so I was rushed out in 15 min. He barely asked me any questions and did not give me enough time to ask him all the questions I had. Second interviewer was great though.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing.
