Why osteopathic medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

I wouldn't say any of the questions were interesting. However, what was interesting was the very first thing he said, which was ''I am not here to intimidate you. I am here to get to know you so that I can be an advocate of yours to the committee.'' The interview had a very casual atmosphere.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I checked out questions on SDN and the web.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone there smiles and is happy, even the students. They are all very nice. The campus is big and clean. There is an affiliated hospital in walking distance from the main campus. They have two dedicated residency programs with 25 slots each year and they favor their own students; emergency medicine and surgery residencies.

What impressed you negatively?

I was kind of upset that I couldn't start school tomorrow. Seriously though, I can't think of anything.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not sure.

What are your general comments?

It was very casual and I felt very comfortable. It was a very good experience for me. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Don't sweat it.
