⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Negatively ☹️

What was the stress level of the interview?

1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The interview was scheduled to begin at 8:30am. There were a group of about 20 interviewees and about 4 current UNE students. Everybody was assigned a time and a pair of interviewers. Afterwards, there was an brief, optional tour with two of the students. Lunch was offered, but most people left before it was served. There was no presentation on the school or financial aid. I don't feel that anybody really emphasized the attributes of the school and what it can offer students.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why medicine, and why osteopathic medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? (not the most interesting thing that can be asked, but it was for this interview)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about the school, went over my secondary, checked out various websites

What was the most difficult question?

How do you see health insurance polices affecting your future practice?

What impressed you positively?

It was pretty warm in Maine for half the time I was there. Then it started snowing. Also, there were some pretty amazing views on campus.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is so far from anything. The med school building is really small, and parts of it are shared with the undergraduates. I'm used to city life, so I guess this isn't quite the type of setting that I'm most comfortable in.
