⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
No change 😐
What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The interview experience was a positive one in that they really made us feel comfortable with the fellow interviewees. I think they would definitely promote a friendly group environment at their school and that the classes will probably form cohesive teams.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How would I explain osteopathy to a person who has never heard of it.
What was the most interesting question?
I am a literature minor and was asked if I knew the novel written by Mary Shelley and who Lord Byron was.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read SDN feedback and the threads and I read about the school.
What was the most difficult question?
I really did not have any difficult questions, I guess it would be how I intend to make a difference in the lives of those with whom I practice medicine ( I mentioned that in my essay )
What impressed you positively?
Everyone was extrememly friendly and nice and the anatomy lab truly is well ventilated... we were in there for about 15 minutes and did not leave smelling at all :)
What impressed you negatively?
The campus its self is very unorganized and just left me feeling cluttered and there really weren't any formal presentations for the financial aid, so come with your own information about scholarships, they also don't really have any food places on campus or near by, just a taco truck and a little prepackaged sandwich shop.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That they would let me know by Tuesday ( my interview was on a Wednesday ) because they were making the decisions that the following day; therefore, if I am accepted I have to give them my decision two weeks from the 15th!!! and $2,000 is a lot of money to commmit to when I still have another interview to attend.
