⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What are your general comments?
Enjoyable day. Wish I could have gotten the chance to meet more students, but the students who I did get a chance to talk to were friendly and did not have major complaints about the school. I interviewed with a current student, faculty member and a DO.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What was your hardest class as an undergrad and how did you deal with this class?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read over my application, school web site
What impressed you positively?
Very nice campus with the new buildings. Nice anatomy lab and OMM lab. Great COMLEX scores. All notes are printed and available for students before lectures. Clinical mentors are assigned in the first year and this can give you the chance to do some cool stuff (or not al lot of stuff) depending on who your mentor is. 80% of the class does an MD residency. Tutors are available.
What impressed you negatively?
Very small fitness center...most students go off campus to work out. 3rd and 4th year are "very self motivated." AZCOM is not really affiliated with a base hospital. The campus is not as technologically advanced as some...no smart boards, PDA, or laptops in class. As a MSIII you must return to campus every few weeks...this would be hard if you were living in another state!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Semi open file interview. The people interviewing you will have your personal statement, paragraph about AZCOM and resume, but will NOT have grades or MCAT scores.
