What was the most interesting question?

I didnt have any real interesting ones.. just straight forward- some were kind of long though, like ''your parents are MDs, as is your uncle in Africa and several other relatives, you've thought about nursing and allopathic medicine, what made you decide on osteopathic medicine''....I was just waiting for the actual question.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoctor.net, mock interview with my school's career center, read over AACOMAS application, secondary application, went to the pizza dinner the night before-- sooo much fun! (i met the 7 other students who interviewed the next day- as well as two current students who answered all our questions)

What impressed you positively?

The campus is gorgeous-breathtaking! The technology is absolutely top-notch-ive never seen any place as advanced technologically. Everyone is EXTREMELY friendly there- especially Paul Carney (director of admissions)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The University apartments- they are the size of a hotel room with no separation between the kitchen, bed and desk, also they are REALLY expensive....

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How low-key it would be and the fact that they see the interview as a way to get to know you personally. Once they've extended you an interview you've already passed all the statistical requirements and they know academically you could suceed, now its all about personality... so be yourself and dont worry- itll go great!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was my first interview ever, so I was EXTREMELY nervous before. But I recommend going to the pizza dinner the night before (RSVP just to make sure students will show up), and then dont be afraid to ask questions. The campus was absolutely breathtaking, Bob the shuttle driver is the nicest guy, everyone else is really friendly. I was impressed with everything- the anatomy labs, OPP labs,their willingness to help with financial aid etc... I really hope I am accepted because if so, I will probably go there! Best of luck to y'all!
