What are your general comments?
There was a group of about 15 of us, first we took a tour with a student and then we sat in a conference room and discussed aspects of the Erie area and the school. One by one we would be called out to be interviewed. There were 3 different panels of interviewers so there were usually 3 of us out at a time.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell us something about yourself? Why did you decide to go into medicine and not graduate school?
How did you prepare for the interview?
This site helped a lot, looked over my application
What was the most difficult question?
Tell us something about yourself... it was hard to know where to start and what they wanted to hear... but once I started then that got the ball rolling for them to jump in and ask more questions.
What impressed you positively?
The facilities were new and very clean. The labs were set up well to accomadate large classes. Also I found out that 5 professors are in lab with you, one to a bench so there is plenty of time and access to professors if you want help. Also the school will help fix your laptop if there is something wrong with it (they'll work on it at the school or send it out for you).
What impressed you negatively?
You can't bring drinks to lecture, or anywhere else is the building besides the cafeteria.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
There were M.D.'s on some of the interview panels, which made it awkward when asked why D.O. and not M.D.
