What impressed you positively?

No responses

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was VERY short and basic. There weren't any pointed questions, just broad sweeping ones. I didn't have a chance to talk about numerous aspects of my file and it didn't seem like the interviewers really cared about much of my file. I felt like a 15-20 minute interview for such an extensive travel and application process undermined me and my application.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They were going to ask me osteopathic trivia. They were going to cut me off before I even made my point on each topic discussed
