What are your general comments?
The day started at nine with a semi-formal Q&A about osteopathic philosophy and Hx. After that there was a team of five MSII students that took us to the OMM lab and give us a chance to ask any off-the-record questions. Then, they took us all over the campus (I mean everywhere…). We ate lunch then had the interviews. After the interviews the day was complete, but a few interviewees (including myself) stayed and talked for a while.
Overall, I had a positive experience. I received a letter of acceptance 6 days after the interview and will probably attend medical school here.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What stresses you and what do you do about it?
What was the most interesting question?
What time did I leave in the morning to get to the interview on time; not particularly interesting but it caught me off guard as it was the very first thing said when the interview began.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read over my file, studied up on the DO philosophy and Hx.
What was the most difficult question?
There were no difficult questions... the whole interview was very conversational.
What impressed you positively?
What didn't impress me! The campus is very nice and not spread out over 4 square miles (my undergrad school is rather large). The students are extremely friendly and there wasn't a general gunner attitude on campus. The school explicitly states that family and religion is more important than school… I was generally impressed.
The location of the campus is not the greatest but it was much better than what I was expecting from previous posts on this site.
What impressed you negatively?
The price tag is very large for this school and the class size is a little larger than I would like.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I should have looked at the curriculum a little more.
