What are your weaknesses?
What do you do at your current job?
What kind of doctor do you want to be?

What was the most interesting question?

It came up from a brief discussion about managed health care: what would you do if you were working at the front desk of a medical office and the doctor told you not to schedule any more appointments for a certain patient who got fired and lost his insurance - but the patient clearly needs more treatment?

What was the most difficult question?

To defend some of my lower grades. No crazy, unexpected questions.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Introspective moments while driving alone with the radio turned off. Read about osteopathic philosophy and its history. Definitely do some reading on that. Be familiar with your application, including the secondary one.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was friendly: interviewer, tour guides, the seven other applicants. Many places, including anatomy lab, are open late for any study marathons etc. The area around the school is quite nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The study area appeared uninviting, almost gloomy. Otherwise, all the facilities were great. It could be just my perception.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There's no reason to panic. Really.

What are your general comments?

The interviewer was late coming from NJ. He gave me feedback on most of my answers as soon as I finished answering (some good, some constructive criticism). The tour was informative and often entertaining, courtesy of one of the wittier student ambassadors.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
