⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Negatively ☹️
What was the stress level of the interview?
10 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Be prepared to defend everything in your application. They asked me about everything (grades and MCAT). This increased the stress level and left me feeling like total CRAP. They were cold and antagonistic.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
You recieved X grade in X class. Why?
What was the most interesting question?
Name a principle of Osteopathic Medicine? (I was asked this after I told them everything I know about it, which included stuff I read from the AOA and AACOMAS websites and the Gevitz book. I guess none of that stuff is exactly an "osteopathic principle."
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, asked students about the interview process, brushed up on facts about Osteopathic Medicine.
What impressed you positively?
OMT lab, the new building
What impressed you negatively?
The interview and the interviewers, the campus
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I should have read the blurbs they have on the wall in the room you wait in before the interview. They ask you about them (with some subtlety).
