💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing unexpected-- Communication, leadership style, why medicine, why DO, strengths/weaknesses, etc. No wierd questions at all.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN (typed up questions previously asked), reviewed questions with spouse and sister, reviewed AACOMAS and my primary and secondary apps.
What was the most difficult question?
The interviewers asked me in several ways how I would handle stresses and time constraints of med school with a family.
What impressed you positively?
The staff is very friendly and seem to be very personal with the students. Overall a fabulous school and PBL sounds like a great way to learn medicine. Their motto: less lecture time, more study time-- I think that's great!
What impressed you negatively?
Schedules will constantly be changing during all 4 years, so plan on being flexible.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Some of the rotations may be out of state and travel may be required. It's good to plan to do rotations where u hope to apply for your residency to get to know staff, especially if you are going into a competitive field.
