💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Other general stuff.
Why do you want to be a MILITARY physician? Although, I have always wanted to be a military physician, so this one was actually very easy to answer. If you have a tough time with this question, then this may not be the school for you.

What was the most interesting question?

Both interviews were very conversational. I had two great chats about medicine in the military.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the admissions manual, twice. Studied up on the military medicine forum on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING. The simulation center was out of this world. Immersive 3d mock casualty extractions and state of the art simulators are sweet. Operation Kerkesner and Bushmaster look like a blast. The students were fantastic. I stayed with a student who was awesome. Hung out with a whole group of first years after my interview. They were all great. The staff, faculty, and almost every student I saw all day stopped to wish me luck and give me advice. Everyone was so nice and really wanted to make you feel like part of their family.

What impressed you negatively?

Having to wear class B's to the ICM. ACU's are way better.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the subway in DC is Not scary at all. I swallowed all of my gold fillings for nothing. And that DC was actually quite easy to navigate.

What are your general comments?

As a future military physician, I can think of nowhere else I'd rather be.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
