Rank in the order of importance... Availability, Affability, and Ability.
Tell me about your prior career/degree. What was the turning point that made you want to become a physician.
There are three reasons that students do not succeed. 1. Not prepared. 2. Spouse doesn't realize how much time is involved. 3. (I don't remember the third thing.) This three part questions was left kind of open ended. So I just responded to the statement.

What was the most interesting question?

Rank in the order of importance... Availability, Affability, and Ability.

What was the most difficult question?

"Is this your first interview?" I said yes, but that I have three more scheduled. I was then asked if I planned to attend the other interviews. I realized later that he meant if I was accepted to OSU, would I attend them? At the time, I was caught off guard by the question. I was also asked why I would choose to attend OSU over other schools I had applied to.
