What was the most interesting question?

No responses

What was the most difficult question?

Tell us about DO's. It caught me off guard because it didn't seem like a specific question...I didn't really know where to start. I hesitated and they asked me, "Who was the founder?" After I answered they told me that some people don't even know that. From there we switched topic.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, School Website

What impressed you positively?

Location, the students seemed really supportive of one another, and they seemed to enjoy being there, even though all the first years had a big exam the next day

What impressed you negatively?

Turns out what they mean by 'integrative approach' to first year sciences means that the separate biochem, anatomy, and histology classes all result in a single grade. Also, there is very little interaction with real patients and the real medical community until 2nd year. And even with that, it's not impressive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was going to get cut off in most of my answers before I could tell them the best parts!

What are your general comments?

Laid back interview, great students, the interviewers ask questions based on the way the conversation is going, but in my experience they would ask new questions before I said what I really wanted to say from the last question

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Try to be more realistic when telling us how long it will take for you to send the interview invite
