What are your general comments?
Overall, I very much enjoyed my experience at the school. Everyone there is very laid back and committed to helping the students in any way they can. I got the feeling that if I attended the school, they would do everything in their power to make sure I would be successful.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
There were a lot of questions about communication. What is your communication style? How do you communicate with others? Aside from asking others questions, how do you get them to communicate with you? By the end I wasn't sure if there were any other ways they could ask me how I communicate.
What was the most interesting question?
Is there anything you have done since you applied that you would like to add to your application?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, reviewed my applications, reviewed research I did during my undergraduate years, I had a mock interview and practised interview questions with my mom.
What was the most difficult question?
A question pertaining to an article I read. Basically, the interviewer asked, if given two alternate treatments a patient chose the worse of the two (in your opinion) what would you do? Neither one of the options is life threatning.
What impressed you positively?
The curriculum is all Problem Based Learning which, while it is a lot of work, statistically prepares students better for the boards AND clinical rotations. The entire campus is state of the art and the only way into the building is through a security guard. The faculty and staff are very approachable and friendly. One of my interviewers was both a D.O. and a J.D. with several years experience, but was still very down to earth. They provide a realtor, free of charge, to find you an apartment or house to live in.
What impressed you negatively?
The visit was very long--I was super tired by the end. However, all the information given was very helpful.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
After reading this website I was very well prepared.
