⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
6 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
It was an overall enjoyable experience, and is very relaxed. There is a medical student there, a basic science professor, and a medical faculty--I got the chief of surgery, who admitted he wanted to ask me lots of hard questions since I had medical experience as a paramedic.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
If you saved someone and recieved any car as a reward, what would it be? Make sure you know what kind of engine it has, because I forgot a Viper has a V-10.
What was the most interesting question?
What type of munitions do assassins most commonly use? I am a forensic science student, and the guy was a ballistics injuy expert.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN site, "DO's Osteopathic Medicine in America," AZCOM site, current AZCOM student
What was the most difficult question?
If a 14-year old girl wanted an abortion what would you do? I refused to do it, and so she committed suicide, and she wrote about me in the note. The interviewer pretended to be the dad and I had to explain it all to him and why his daughter had to die. That question and one about a school bus accident with 5 people salvagable, and 2 that couldn't be helped. I had to tell him what I was say to the ones that would die.
What impressed you positively?
Brand new campus & great atmosphere. Everything's great!
What impressed you negatively?
Tuition. The interviewers asked difficult questions, but added in some humor to help me relax.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Bring sunglasses! A lightweight dress jacket works better (mine wasn't.) And don't schedule your return flight to late---you'll end up spending hours at the airport.
