No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I spent a good deal of time thinking about: why I want to become a physician, the qualities my interviewers are likely looking for, and how to highlight those in my interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Nice facilities, nice people, teaching emphasis, local clinical rotations (if you want them), solid academics and great board scores, good residency match results.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

In class 8-5. I prefer a bit more independent learning. The students I spoke with said they skip class regularly b/c there is just too much of it. They are forced to prioritize.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. There were no surprises.

What are your general comments?

I interviewed with about 20 other applicants (not at the same time). We were divided into two groups. One group interviewed while the other had a financial aid presentation, and campus tour. The interview was with a panel of 3 people and was about 30 minutes long. The panel consisted of a D.O., a basic sciences professor (Ph.D.), and the director of admissions (others had a medical student as 3rd panelist). The interview is open file except for your MCAT score, and grades. The panel was friendly, attentive, and asked good questions. The stress level was LOW. Lots of down time, so be prepared. The facilities were purpose built for midwestern, and are quite new and well maintained. Lecture halls have the ubiquitous swing up desks that are too small to really get comfortable, unfortunate given that classes run from 8-5. That is about the only fault I could find with the facilities. Well that and the lack of wireless internet in most places. My overall impression is that AZCOM is a very solid school in all respects. I really liked the school. I can definitely see myself at AZCOM.
