What are your general comments?
You cannot be more supportive and enthusiastic than the OSU staff and students without the risk of seeming overbearing. My interview day was well planned and felt more entertaining than stressful. The follow-up if you do get accepted is tremendous. They really go the extra mile to get you to attend OSU and what I like best is they seem to purposely select candidates with something in eccentric in their applications to increase the diversity.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Describe an ethical dilemma in the medical field and give your take on it.
What was the most interesting question?
A specific question about my personal statement, which my interviewer really enjoyed reading.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Asked my student host questions, reread my primary and secondary applications, visited school website, and read SDN feedback.
What was the most difficult question?
None. This was probably the most positive interview experience I've ever had.
What impressed you positively?
The faculty and the students really love their school and gave the impression that they would love to have you join them. OSU is rising fast in the medical school rankings and will likely soon be a top tier school. They have spent unbelievable amounts of money on new facilities and they will tell you all about it!
What impressed you negatively?
There was a little too much talk about the Buckeyes. Their sports teams won't be an extra incentive for me to choose OSU, but they assumed it would be.
