How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at profiles on SDN and prepared answers to the questions. I also had someone ask me some of the questions from this site. Earlier I had an interview with my premedical committee. Lastly I just read over my personal statement, my information, and ethical issues that I found on the internet.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everything! The school is state of the art, the curriculum is innovative and effective, the students seem to love being there, the environment is laid back and positive, and the school is growing at an exponential rate.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Everyone complains about the ghetto environment but that is just because it has been well established in that area for so long. Also Kansas City is an awesome city with a pro baseball and football teams, amusement parks, lots of beautiful parks and fountains, and great shopping lively nightlife.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

We arrived and sat together in a room with a seat waiting with our info and name tag. A man talked to us about osteopathic medicine and current issues and then he told us that we had all been preselected to be there at this early interview date and that they wanted to accept us. Student ambassadors then took us around the school and showed us all of the facilities and the apartments across the street. We then had lunch in the cafeteria. Afterwards they took us to a recreation room and we were fitted for our white coats (very cool) and then waited for the interviews. We were on a list as to who and when we would be interviewed and the student ambassadors would talk to us about the interviewers and tell us about their personalities and what type of questions they will most likely ask. The interview was very conversational and not stressful. Impress them by talking about things that you know well. I had an interview on Monday and on the next Monday I had an acceptance letter in my mailbox!
