💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

how does cooperation play into being a DR (i put something about that in my application), and then tell me about your research
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
what super hero would you be

What was the most interesting question?

if a man really wanted to have a baby, do you think it would be ethically right to transplant a uterus into him to do so?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, touro's website, reviewed my information and AACOMAS application

What impressed you positively?

the anatomy lab, dr. haight was very straightforward and friendly, the student tour guide liked her school very much, which was nice. i also liked the research opportunities that are available if you want to get involved

What impressed you negatively?

the location-i did not expect where it was at all. it is definitely not what you think an "island" to be. the campus is not very attractive, no hospital nearby-just a lot of old naval buildings not functioning right now.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

about the location

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.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
