💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Talk about your research. Would you be interested in continuing research during your medical school career? What are your MCAT scores and GPA (The interviewers dont get to see them. He just wanted to know so that he could predict how I would do in my first year if I were accepted)? Any questions for me?
Why do you think that some MD's look down on DO's?
Why medicine (basically)?

What was the most interesting question?

Why do you think a lot of MD's, look down on DO's?

What was the most difficult question?

A really indepth question about the research that I'm involved with that I should have readily known the answer to, but explained everything else that I did remember, and that seemed to be good enough. Whew!

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Reviewed AMCAS, read up on some ethical issues, Prayed and put it all in God's Hands.

What impressed you positively?

The students all seemed really happy to be there, and were enjoying their medical school experience.

What impressed you negatively?

Neither the Financial Aid representative nor the head of the PBL pathway was there to speak to us. But it wasn't so bad because I hear that the financial aid lady is really blunt and tells you that you wont get much money anyway.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview experience was great. The whole day went by smoothly, the students who gave the tour were really nice and honest. When they found out who our interviewers were, they gave us tips on what to talk about, and the areas of our applications that we should make sure to stress. The interviewer was very laid back, no ethical questions, and just wanted to know about me and what I've been doing and where I would like to go in the future.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
