💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Do you think you'll have a hard time getting back into studying? (I've been out of school for 2.5 years)
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing super interesting, but there were two or three ethical questions.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read my secondary, SDN, and CCOM website info. They don't have access to your COMAS app.
What was the most difficult question?
No difficult questions. They covered all the basics: why medicine, why osteopathic, why CCOM, what are your strengths and weaknesses. Plus, I was asked a few hypotheticals.
What impressed you positively?
Very well maintained facilities and they are expanding. High COMLEX pass rate (about 91%), family atmosphere, safe campus.
What impressed you negatively?
They spent 10 minutes on the financial talk. The interviews were WAY too short and never led to a discussion. It became strictly a question and answer session.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing
