💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Why osteopathic medicine?
Why Pikeville?

What was the most interesting question?

What was the last book you read?

What was the most difficult question?

None...If you know exactly why you want to be a D.O., and why you want to go to Pikeville, none of the questions are difficult. However, if PCSOM is your ''fallback'' school, or you don't really know why you're choosing osteopathic medicine, they will read right through you- and you probably won't get in.

✅ 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?

The night before, I read through the PCSOM booklet. That's pretty much it. They really stress to be yourself, and they make the experience as comfortable as possible (given the fact that it IS, after all, a med school interview).

What impressed you positively?

The students, the faculty, the atmosphere...and the incentives (laptop, books, instruments, etc. are included in tuition).

What impressed you negatively?

The powerpoint presentation at the beginning of the day was a little dramatic, kind of boring. Other than that, nothing. But don't come here if you don't want to spend 4 years in a very rural area.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much I would come to enjoy this school. I would not have applied anywhere else, saving me lots of money.

What are your general comments?

Great. Impressive. I can't wait to start this fall.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
