✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Thought about why I wanted to go to their school, be a D.O., be a doctor, my strengths/weaknesses, read over application/personal statements, though about issues facing medicine today, and tried to be relaxed and myself

What impressed you positively?

The interview was not at all stressful and it was actually my easier than what I thought and what I prepared myself for (and I was reallly nervous about the interview). There was only four of us being interview that day so we had a lot of time to talk to each other while one of us was being interviewed. Then we saw a video, took a tour, had lunch/asked student tour guides questions, and went home at 2 pm for a 10 am interview.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, I got my acceptance 9/20, 6 days after my interview (the commitee meets once a month so its a different length of time for everyone) and I plan on going there next fall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Some of the students told me that next year they are going to combine their class room and problem based learning program and take the best parts of both, which I really like.

What are your general comments?

So easy and relaxed. They asked me about a grade, what I do for fun, what I would do if I wasn't a doctor, and about the club that I am the president of, and other questions about myself and things that I do or did. It was very much a conversation, but it is the responsibility of the person being interview to make it that way. When they ask a question make sure you elaborate on what you mean and try to stem that answer into another topic about why you love their school or why they should accept you. Just be careful not to sound to arrogant.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
