💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell us about you.
Why Nova?
Why osteopathic medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

Why do you think you did poorly the first time you took x class? This was interesting because one interviewer said that my answer wasn't the same as the explanation provided by the professor in his letter of recommendation (my bad I guess...?). He then told me some of what was in the letter - are they supposed to do that? Lol.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing unexpected or difficult. They did ask a question about health care though.

What impressed you positively?

I liked the school. The campus and facilities were very nice. The people were also great, except for one of my interviewers.. haha.

What impressed you negatively?

One of my interviewers was definitely trying to make my interview more stressful than it needed to be. I thought that my interview went really badly and that there was no way I would get accepted, but I did!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there were two people interviewing you at once. I must have missed this fact somehow while I was preparing.

What are your general comments?

Don't worry if you interview and feel like it was awful. You could still get accepted!
