How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my supplemental, AACOMAS, current events, and info about Midwestern.

What impressed you positively?

How relatively stress-free and amicable the students were. The facilities were top notch. The students have every amenity on campus. The whole program really impressed me. My group unexpectedly ran into one of their distinguished alumni. He was the team doctor for the Chicago Bears football team. I wasn't sold on the DO concept, but I am now. If you want to be a primary care physician, DO is the way to go!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Even the interview panel was at least decent to me. At some other schools the interviewers are incredibly rude.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The admissions office is downstairs in the admissions building. It was my fault I forgot to re-read their instruction letter.

What are your general comments?

Arrived early, and met the other candidates. We were given packets with all the information we needed about the day and Midwestern. Went to the Financial Aid office for a brief presentation. Then the interviews began. There were two panels of three interviewers, and about ten candidates to interview. We all took turns going in front of one of the panels. Afterward we went on a tour of the campus and facilities. Ate lunch with the med students, and bid the other candidates adieu.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
