💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
The night before, I read through the PCSOM booklet. That's pretty much it. They really stress to be yourself, and they make the experience as comfortable as possible (given the fact that it IS, after all, a med school interview).
What was the most difficult question?
None...If you know exactly why you want to be a D.O., and why you want to go to Pikeville, none of the questions are difficult. However, if PCSOM is your ''fallback'' school, or you don't really know why you're choosing osteopathic medicine, they will read right through you- and you probably won't get in.
What impressed you positively?
The students, the faculty, the atmosphere...and the incentives (laptop, books, instruments, etc. are included in tuition).
What impressed you negatively?
The powerpoint presentation at the beginning of the day was a little dramatic, kind of boring. Other than that, nothing. But don't come here if you don't want to spend 4 years in a very rural area.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How much I would come to enjoy this school. I would not have applied anywhere else, saving me lots of money.
