💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How have you affected the life of another person either positively or negatively? What is your proudest accomplishment?
Tell us about yourself? Why osteopathic medicine? What specialty are you considering and where do you see yourself?
What would you do if you made a D on an exam in medical school?

What was the most interesting question?

Let's say you lived in a small town and you had a patient who regularly disregarded your treatment plan and observed this patient doing such in the community. For example, you have a patient that you see consuming an excessive amount of unhealthy foods on a regular basis. How would you feel about that patient and how would you feel about yourself as a physician?

What was the most difficult question?

From your volunteer, shadowing, and personal experiences in the medical field, what is one good thing you have observed, and what is one bad thing you have observed? Also, not too difficult but they asked: if you and I(the interviewer) were on a team and I was not contributing to the project and you were doing all of the work? How would you handle the situation?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I spoke with a current student about the process and what to expect. Then I reviewed my application and practiced stating my "why medicine" and "tell me about yourself." I reviewed SDN and made bullet points for the questions. I did not practice other than bullet points so I wouldn't sound scripted.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so welcoming and the family culture was very evident throughout the day. It was a really great experience.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing I loved it!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt prepared so I was glad that I knew it was a very conversational interview experience. I was also glad that I thought about some of the questions beforehand because there are plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

What are your general comments?

The best advice is to be yourself and think about your unique experiences that you can share.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
