💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell us about yourself.
What are some of your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
Why osteopathic medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

Two ethical questions about how to choose an organ transplant recipient from three equal candidates with slightly different life situations, as well as a follow up one about medical marijuana.

What was the most difficult question?

None really, but I stumbled the most on one that asked me to define leadership as well as the one that asked me to give examples of when I saw the doctors I shadowed act as mentors. I just wasn't expecting them, which made them slightly more difficult.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I soul-searched mostly. I made sure I knew my strengths and weaknesses, why DO, etc. More than anything, I boosted my confidence and reminded myself that it was closed file!

What impressed you positively?

Everything. I can't believe how nice and welcoming the people are at this school. The students go out of their way to come talk to you, wish you well, and offer words of advice. The staff and faculty is over the top. Facilities are warm and inviting for long nights of studying. The mountains are GORGEOUS.

What impressed you negatively?

Of course adjusting to not having everything at my fingertips would be rough, but the lack of distraction might help. Also, study areas are somewhat limited.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.
