Overall, I think it was a very positive experience. It was my first interview and I thought I bombed it. The other interviewees were nice, and the staff kept us entertained. I personally thought the interview was a lot more stressful than the other people I asked.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What are your strengths? Weaknesses? Why do you want to be a D.O.?
What was the most interesting question?
They had standard questions, although they asked me if there was anything new to tell them about myself..usually if you can think of something interesting, it helps!
How did you prepare for the interview?
I looked on here luckily, did a couple mock interviews with friends, and re-read my personal statement and secondary answers.
What was the most difficult question?
There were several, but mainly it was focused around my numbers so if you have a discrepancy with your MCAT score, GPA, or both, be prepared to discuss that with them debating your competancy to go to med school!
What impressed you positively?
The school is very compact. I went to a big undergrad college and so I really appreciate not having to run from one side of campus to the other. The staff was very nice too.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really, but I thought my interviewers didn't like me because they were very stoic but I think it was because they had to be like that. I got accepted so I guess I was over-reacting.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The ARTICLE.. I mean I knew it was coming, but even if you get 10 questions and you think they are done filling out the sheet, they will ask you about the article, so keep on your toes about that!
