No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read website, wrote out some thoughts/questions, read SDN extensively, and talked to students at the school.

What impressed you positively?

The well spoken director of admissions. The facilities were also nice. The types of residency programs that the graduates get into is impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

I got a feeling that many of the students spend a large amount of time in class. There is no student note taking service, something I would try to start if I get accepted here

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

The interview went rather well. This was my 5th interview of the year, so I really wasn't nervous at all. I spent most of the time talking and my interviewers spent most of the time listening. As a result, they didn't ask too many poignent questions, except for the &quot;tell us about a proud moment&quot; one. I was surprised to find that most of the other students did get an overt ethical question, however I did not. It might be due to the fact that I naturally sort of bring up the issue in talking about why I want to get into medicine (helping underserved populations). Overall, my interviewers were quite nice and congenial, all three: the D.O., the Ph.D., and the student. If you are prepared for the typical &quot;med school&quot; questions you should do fine. And honestly, I didn't feel like there was a whole bunch of down time, as others on this site have said. Perhaps it was because I was in the first group to interview, but I found the other applicants to be very nice and talkative.
