💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about your experiences guiding your decision into becoming an osteopathic physician.
Tell us about your support system. How do you rank your priorities?
Walk us through your withdrawals. How have you changed?

What was the most interesting question?

Mainly just normal stuff. They did ask to rank your priorities. I enjoyed asking them questions because it really sparked some conversation.

What was the most difficult question?

There was one question in which I wasn't sure what he wanted. He was asking what I would do if someone around me was doing something unethical. I answered as if it were a friend or colleague doing something. But I think he meant it more geared to patients. They then asked if there was anything I wouldn't do as a doctor because it was unethical.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Mock interview, reviewed my apps.

What impressed you positively?

The genesis program. The fact that there is immediate patient contact. I also liked the level of involvement allowed in both research and in the community.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost. No wireless. Since I'm not really a candidate for CT, I'd have to live a little further away to be in a good neighborhood. Because of this I would kind of be stuck doing most of my studying at home.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I was a little too laid back and relaxed before I walked in the door. It just really went from super informal to really formal. I wasn't prepared for that change. I definitely think I ended the interview better than I began it. Which I suppose is better than ending it poorly! I walked out feeling really good about it but on the drive home I began breaking it down and started probably overanalyzing the things I said. I am glad that this was my first interview because I think I had a little more room for error than at other schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
