You seem to know a lot about physiology, however, a lot of students have trouble with courses like biochemistry, etc. Do you feel that you're prepared for these courses and how do you plan on doing well in these courses.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions ▼

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I studied all of my application materials and made sure to be ready to answer any questions about my experiences and essays, which was good because they did ask questions about my experiences and essays. They had access to everything except GPA and MCAT numbers. I also made sure to brush up on the history and philosophy of osteopathic medicine. I made sure to have good responses prepared for the obvious questions, which they did ask (why do you want to be a doctor, DO, etc.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The dean describing their modified systems-based curriculum. It sounds awesome! The campus is great, very state of the art with a nice atmosphere too (beautiful portraits of rocky mountain scenery hanging in the hallways, lots of windows, etc.) Everyone was very excited about the school, especially any students I spoke with. It was fun to sit in on an OMM course for a little bit.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The financial aid presentation was a bit depressing. I found out that the loans that the school offers are changing to variable interest rates and that beginning fall 2012, they will no longer be offering a 10% discount to in-state students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It's a long day. Bring some coffee or something, I was getting really tired towards the end of the day (luckily not until after my interview.)

Report Response | I was asked this too
