💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me what you know about Osteopathic Medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

What would you do in a group situation where I was to assign the group a task it has to complete and then left the room?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Psyched myself to think positive things about myself. Read up about the school, emailed a current student about his expeirience.

What was the most difficult question?

Imagine you had two patients; one older, pillar of the community, the other younger, irresponsible and abused his health. They both have the same illness and will perish without treatment. There is only enough resources to treat one of them. Who would you treat and why did you come to that decision?

What impressed you positively?

I stayed with a student while I was there (school provides this as a servce to propective students) and learnt a lot about MSU through that brief relationship.

What impressed you negatively?

I wasn't too impressed with the parking arrangements. The lot was full and I ended up having to park illegally. On top of that, I got yelled at by a lady who was attempting to get out of the parking entrance because she decided she did not want to park there. This aggravated me, I moved my vehicle and then proceeded to drive onto oncoming traffic. This was all BEFORE my interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The parking arrangements were bad. Perhaps some information about alternative parking would have done wonders for my morale.
