💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself. Why did you decide to change careers?
What do you do for fun?
Why do you want to be a doctor, why osteopathic?

What was the most interesting question?

One interviewer (looking at my ap, no grades available) pointed out some things but stated them incorrectly, it may have been a tactic to see how I would respond, but it made me aware that I needed to bring forward key points to make sure they were aware of them

What was the most difficult question?

How would I insure patients understood information correctly, (this came from questions about my previous career and about the interviewer's mother's negative experience)

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

practiced questions, looked up info on osteopathic med, etc, visited school, talked to med students, etc

What impressed you positively?

Students came by between their classes to talk to me, students were very open about answering questions. Interviewers tried to reduce the stress level (I was pretty hyped up), were open about number of seats left and the process your file would go through, and responded quickly (about 14 days) about acceptance results. Gave us a book about osteo med.

What impressed you negatively?

It rained and rained.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The questions would be broad and general. Very little specifics were asked. Nothing from out field or unexpected.

What are your general comments?

The nicest people go to this school: willing to answer any question and provide advice. A large portion of students are married, have kids, commute, non-traditional aps. They really do consider the entire package for admittance (references, statement, experiences). They look at your best (not last) MCAT score. For a good interview, you need to take control and provide the information, because they won't ask for it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
