💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How do u know u want primary care?
What are you hobbies?
What's my relationship with the DO that wrote my letter?

What was the most interesting question?

"I'm and MD and I see you're dad is also, so why didn't you apply to any MD schools?" If you get that questions... no matter where u are... tell them that it's because of the philosophy. Some people will say because of grades but if you say that it's pretty much over for u... they don't want to be sloppy seconds!

What was the most difficult question?

Same as above just because it was hard to brag about the advantages of DO to an MD without insulting him.

Everything went very very well. They just wanted to get to know you, my interviewers were very friendly and didn't make me feel like I was on trial. One interviewee said he got questions on socialized medicine, but my interview was nothing like that. I loved the school and I got accepted so I'll be there next fall! Good luck and relax!
