✅ 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?

I read questions on Studentdoctor.net, current issues on the net, and read over my application

What impressed you positively?

The people were extremely nice and they wanted to make sure not only that you were fit for their school but that THEY were fit for you which I liked. The med students that guided us around were very helpful and gave us honest answers.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt that the interview was a bit too conversational. I would have liked to explain more about myself but they didn't really ask me any questions about my application. I felt I was on a time constraint. However, the people that interviewed me were very pleasant and the interview seemed to go well overall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Everything I learned just made the school sound more appealing to me.

What are your general comments?

The interview process is exactly how everybody else on this site explains it. Read up on the history of osteopathic medicine because you might be a person that is picked when their quizzing people. The interview is later in the day so don't be stressed when you first arrive. Your nerves will diminish by the end of the day. There is nothing to be worried about! If you know how to hold a conversation then you will be fine. A few of the fellow students had some ethical questions but as long as you have an opinion on the issue and you stick by it, then you will be fine because that is all they are looking for.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
