How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my personal statement and secondary, read &quot;The Difference A D.O. makes&quot; by Bob E. Jones, made an outline for possible question answers collected from SDN, spoke with my mother about Indian Health Service facilities, and spoke with a few MS1's about their experiences.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very friendly gentlemen and genuinely wanted to get to know me as well as my intentions in medicine. Also, the students are so friendly - many of them stopped to say &quot;Good luck, hope to see you next year!&quot; while on their way to class.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing - I have toured here two other times and it is still my one and only choice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was in the very last group to interview. I had to sweat it out until 11:15 to interview while everyone else got to come back to the room and relax. On second thought, maybe it's a blessing that I didn't know or I probably would have driven myself crazy in the days leading up to the interview.

What are your general comments?

I had heard from current students that the interviews are low stress and they were. There were times when a serious question would come up, but I remained confident and answered honestly. Most of the questions came from my personal statement and a few were general. Just be sure about why you want to go into osteopathic medicine and you'll be fine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
