The interview was just like I had expected...a nice conversation. They weren't interested in grilling me, they just wanted to get to know me as a person. The students and faculty involved in the process help ease your anxiety.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What is your experience with Osteopathic Medicine?
What was the most interesting question?
How will my experience in nursing school influence my experience/performance in medical school?
How did you prepare for the interview?
UNE website, KCOM website about osteopathic medicine, SDN, reviewed my application/essay
What was the most difficult question?
What was the common factor among all of the schools that I applied to (why did I choose the schools that I applied to)?
What impressed you positively?
The students are very supportive of each other and sincerely interested in the well-being of their colleagues and community. There is a very positive learning environment; everyone is very enthusiastic about osteopathic medicine yet not stuck on themselves. The OMM lab and the anatomy lab are fabulous. Great rural setting!
What impressed you negatively?
Limited places to eat. It seems like housing may be difficult to find. There was a long waiting period during the interview process (however, that seems to be the trend everywhere).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I forgot my suit hanging on the closet door when I packed up stuff! So...the Maine Mall was a very nice place to do some "last minute" shopping (although this tour of South Portland was not on my agenda). On a more serious note, I wish I would have known when I would be hearing a response from the admissions committee. Also, I wish I had known that their total deposit is $1500 to hold your place in the class after getting an acceptance.
