💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

After a while, all of the applications start looking the same. When I go in front of the admissions committee to represent you, what do you want me to tell them that will make you stand out amongst the others?
What about osteopathic medicine interests you?
Why didn't you apply last year? If you don't get in this year what are you going to do. What if you apply 5 more times and you don't get in- then what?

What was the most interesting question?

So, there's a boxing match coming up. Mayweather or Pacquiao? haha

What was the most difficult question?

I see that you have lived, went to school, and worked in areas where there is a high number of medically underserved. What do you think about the current health care reform debate and how do you think it will affect them?

Read cnn.com and nytimes.com to catch up on health care reform, read interview feedback on sdn, spoke to people who have went on an interview here, read my application thoroughly, read the school website.

What impressed you positively?

the friendliness of all the staff members and the second year students taking us around for a tour. the facility was really nice. kennedy hospital is right across the street. small class size. awesome school !! ACCEPT ME!!

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the interview really IS as conversational as everyone says. my interviewer was awesome and really friendly. review the interview feedback here, brush up on some current events, review your application, and know yourself and your reasons for wanting to become a doctor and youll be fine.

What are your general comments?

i think all my interviewer really wanted to see was my passion and dedication to become an osteopathic physician. he didnt seem to care about what i said until i started spewing out all the reasons why i want to be a doctor and how long and hard ive worked to get where i am etc. at the end of my shpeel he said "excellent". show them you want it and (hopefully) it will pay off. keeping my fingers crossed!!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
