What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

During a particular semester my grades had significantly fallen, and I was asked to explain why.
What would you do if you don't get into medical school this year? (They then assured me that my interview was going great, and that I shouldn't think that that meant they thought I wasn't going to get accepted)
Why Osteopathic Medicine? (One interviewer always asks who founded Ostepathic Medicine, I didn't have him, but in case you do it was Andrew Taylor Still).

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on the school and looked over the main principles of Ostepathic Medicine

What impressed you positively?

The teaching equipment and the school's commitment to the community. The school really seemed to be a family

What impressed you negatively?

There wasn't anything that negatively impressed me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There weren't any tricks in the bag so to speak. I was prepared as I needed to be. One word of caution, the traffic there is terrible, so leave early.

What are your general comments?

You have 2 or 3 persons interviewing you at one time. It was a lttle hard to divide my attention between them, since one person read my file the whole time. The school will call you and let you know your status in one or two weeks after your interview (depending on when their admissions commitee next meets).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
