💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
"Ok, tell me about yourself, why DO, why medicine why Tennessee?" This was one big question. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
What was the most interesting question?
"So, you are from New York originally, why not go to NYCOM?" This was Ironic because I have an interview at NYCOM. I am sure its coincidence but, I wonder if schools know where you are interviewing.
How did you prepare for the interview?
My best friend is a DO. He gave me the lowdown on how to answer their questions....I read off SDN....and he told me how to respond...coached me.
What was the most difficult question?
The NYCOM question came out of nowhere. But I was able to deflect it....I don't want to go back to NY, I haven't lived there in 10 years, no desire to go back unless I have to..."don't send me back to New York Please!!!!!!!" I told him that and he said they will try not to...which was a good sign for me.
What impressed you positively?
The students are VERY positive and love their school. That says something. The technology is great. I like how they try to make things simple for us as students. They also are wonderful people. There is no cut throat atmosphere...how can one be a good doctor in a cut throat atmosphere? I would love to go here. Also, the student faculty relationship seems awesome. Love the simplicity of the school.
What impressed you negatively?
I like more food options aside from subway...but I could live on it I guess.
