What are your general comments?

I tried to include all of the questions I was asked below. I was incredibly nervous going into the interview, but about 5 minutes in I felt completely comfortable. At lunch the students and doctors who conducted our interviews came out and had lunch with us which gave us the chance to ask questions and talk to them. Everyone was really friendly. They all really did try to make it low stress.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell us about yourself and what led to this point. What will I do if I do not get in. If I could do something differently, what would it be? How do I think working full time through school affected my performance and life during college.

They received a letter from a professor whose class I did well in and asked why I thought that I did well.

Looked at the questions posted on this site and read a book that gave interview tips. Also re-read my application and made sure that I could answer any question regarding my research expereince.

What was the most difficult question?

Are osteopathic adjustments different from chiropractor adjustments.

What impressed you positively?

Brand new facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

There is no affiliated hospital, so the school really lacks a medical center energy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The area the school is in is full of strip malls and new housing developments. It felt a little weird to me but thta may because I have lived in a major city for so many years.
