What are your general comments?
Up until the actual interviews it was pretty good. (However it was unfortunate that they didn't have keys to open up and show us the OMM lab.) Everyone was very friendly. Current students told me that I was shortchanged getting the interviewers that I had - they were definitely not representative of the osteopathic faculty.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How did you learn about DOs and Western?
What was the most interesting question?
How does the show Survivor influence children?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Talked to current Western COMP students and osteopathic medical students from other colleges. Looked over my apps and the school's website.
What was the most difficult question?
If you had a $100,000,000 would you spend it on curing one disease or education?
What impressed you positively?
The friendliness of the students - many came up to us asking if we had questions and answering questions very openly.
What impressed you negatively?
The quality of the interviewers. First off neither of them were DOs or seemed very interested in osteopathy. Secondly, they only allowed me time to ask one question- which they weren't able to answer to my satisfaction.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the new ''osteopathic medicine'' facility will be for other health sciences as well.
