💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Interview 1: with a professor : Talked a lot about where I am from, my family, my experiences and how that has influenced me to want to practice medicine and become an osteopathic physician. Not very many specific questions aside from "why DO, why Medicine, what are your strengths" It was very conversational.

the campus and the facilities. they have top notch facilities- the best out of any osteopathic school I visited. it is one of the few osteopathic med schools where I felt like I was actually on a campus.

the location. but the school has a lot of programs put in place to try to compensate for that.

What are your general comments?

Super laid back interviews. One of my interviewers said "I just want to get to know you. I am going to ask you a few questions, and then I want you to just tell me about yourself, why you are here, and why medicine. Then I'm going to repeat what I think you told me, and please correct any misconceptions I may have made of you." Superrr CHILL!

none. it was a wonderful, smooth, well scheduled day with lots of flexibility for people who had to leave early.
