Negatively ☹️

What are your general comments?

The School is beautiful and very impressive. Being part of a larger network of health professional schools was really interesting, there was a dental school, PA school etc. However, my interview was not reinforcing of everything else I saw and heard, and felt the interviewers were rather unconcerned.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why osteopathic medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

The questions really wern't interesting, they were more generic if anything

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed NOVA's mission statement as well as who founded osteopathic medicine.

What was the most difficult question?

They asked why I had attained a certain score on the MCAT, this is something they really want a good answer for, so I felt very pressured to show them that the score did not define me one way or the other.

What impressed you positively?

Harvey- they have a plastic doll which mimicks all of the cardiac abnormalities that exist.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers- they were the coldest people I met the entire time there. They cut me short a few times, interrupted me and made me feel like they didn't want me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They really want people to absolutely love Florida!!
