💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

After taking time off to do the things you wanted to do, do you think you'll be able to settle down to four years of medical school
Tell me about your research. I see you only took the MCAT once, were you satisfied with your scores?
What did you find when you were poking around in the drawers in the simulated patient labs? (I managed to relate a Seinfeld skit and the embodiment of the osteopathic doctor-patient relat'p in one answer)

What was the most interesting question?

these MCATs, grades, these aren't you. I want to know who you are. So your dad was an MD, and you're applying to an osteopathic school...

What was the most difficult question?

What can I say to the admissions commitee to convince the naysayers to admit you.

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, talked with hosts the night before

What impressed you positively?

located on big U campus so all those facilities are accessible. All profs seemed very interested in student's well-being and were there for the students. Two curricular tracks, PCC and CPC

What impressed you negatively?

i got the best idea of the difference between the two tracks from a student at lunch. the admissions needs to find a better way to explain/differentiate

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

standard osteopathic questions. as stated in previous OUCOM logs, interviews turned more into conversations. My last ended in a discussion about evidence-based traditional chinese medicine with DO surgeon of 25 years. Try to bring something (book, experience) to the table that you're very comfortable talking about that will relate to osteopathic medicine in an INDIRECT. Pick the brains of the students with whom you have lunch, they're your last stop before the faculty interview HAVE FUN

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
