⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The interviewers do not have your academic record, so it's all about getting to know you and see what you're about. The interviewer I had was wonderful and we got to talk about different topics (like music lessons and Korea) at different points in the interview, which was super nice (not a constant focus on why-do-you-want-to-be-here, very directed, questions).
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me how you would explain osteopathic medicine to your family and friends.
What was the most interesting question?
Tell me about your grandparents. What kind of relationship do you have with them?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Researched MSUCOM links, read up on osteopathic medicine, reviewed my application, prayed.
What was the most difficult question?
I'm going to ask you a three-part question: 1. Name an ethical dilemma that is facing physicians today 2. Describe your stance on it 3. Explain how you arrived at that stance.
What impressed you positively?
The admissions staff was so kind and encouraging. The interviewer was also incredibly nice. I appreciated the length of the interview because it allowed enough time for me to calm down and feel more laid back by the end.
What impressed you negatively?
Waiting around for long periods of time.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
There would only be 3 interviewees this morning (not a big deal, but I had been wondering), each interviewed by a different person.
