No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Didn't

What impressed you positively?

how organized the institution was - pamphlets, brochures

What impressed you negatively?

interviewer grilled me about a bank i worked at quite some time ago. both interviewers also seemingly didn't care about evidence based medicine - one of the students who was interviewing me stated that she thought it was &quot;hilarious&quot; when a physician questioned her about the scientific evidence of OMM. Towards the end of the interview, they seemed too defensive of OMM.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'm expected to know minute details about a place I worked at many years ago.

What are your general comments?

I think my interview experience was an exception to the norm - it may have been that my interviewer (a PhD and not a DO) was just quirky. I felt like I was slammed for being a business major in that they kept pressing about why I wanted to be a doctor after I had fully explained myself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
