Anatomy labs, they pay for your board review course, the location of the school, the general attitude of the student body i.e. not overly competitive

NOTHING

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just relax in your interview and be yourself. There is no need to be worried. They will throw some scenario type questions at you to see how you will react. And they will try to see how seriously you are considering their school.

What are your general comments?

I could tell that my second interviewer wanted to see if my motivations for seeking osteopathic medicine were pure or if it was just a backup plan for the MD schools. Of course you don't want to say yes osteopathy is my back up, but be honest about your motivations because it's obvious if your not sincere. When asked about my choice between TCOM and UT southwest I said flat out that it was hard to say but I did get a better vibe from TCOM than UT Southwest. I liked how the interviewer was honest with me when I asked him why he chose osteopathy over allopathy: he said that his MCAT score wasn't very good but his grades were so he just went to the best school that he could get into, very honest response. Note that he is now a very successful surgeon. The student's that toured us were amazing and really really honest. The anatomy labs were cool, and I would say that TCOM's facilities are right up there with most schools. Lunch was great, which they paid for.
