What are your general comments?
honestly i was not very impressed with the interview. i did not feel that afterwards they had really learned much about me, but yet i still got accepted. there was only one other student interviewing with me, and so i thought they should have gotten to know ME better. instead there were more questions about random things that i did not feel were really important. i have gotten in other places, and so i do not intend on going here.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
the transplanting a uterus into a man one, and if i were to come into contact with an MD student who started to "bad mouth" (for lack of the actual question) the DO program, how would i react and what would i say

the uterus one and if you could be a superhero, which one would you be
