💬 Interview Questions
What was the most interesting question?
Did you feel like the advisement committee at your school did an adequate job of advising you?
What was the most difficult question?
Well none of them were too difficult. I guess the question "Why Osteopathy?" was the most difficult because it was the first question I was asked, so it took me a second to get going.

How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN interview feedback, talked to my dad who is a manager of engineering, talked to my new boss who is a manager of Physical Therapy, got advice from friends and family, and read through my essays.
What impressed you positively?
Faculty's dedication to student education.
What impressed you negatively?
Honestly, not much. I'd visited the school 2x before interviewing so I knew and loved a lot about the school. The lunch in the undergrad cafeteria was kind of bad, ha.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing really. I wouldn't have changed anything.
What are your general comments?
I really like this school's mission, faculty, and facilities. I really hope I get in. My advice for anyone about to interview is to be honest and upfront about what you want. The interviewers will guide the interview to uncover your desires anyway, so you might as well tell them first. Guess I should comment here that in general interviews are scheduled for 30 minutes, but that I interviewed for about 60 minutes due to the cancellation of another applicant. I hope I didn't talk their ears off too much.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
None.
