💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

In a few sentences what would you say is the difference between DO and MD?

Report Response | I was asked this too

There were a lot of questions about what I put on my resume (especially from the med student). Be prepared to go into detail on some of your activities, and be able to expalin what each is throughly-I accidentally forgot to omit a project on my resume (it's not important and I don't like discussing it), but sure enough I was asked about it and could have answered the question much better than I did.

What would you do if you failed a test or class?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

A patient is in late end stage emphazema. He comes to you and says that "he's had a good life, and wouldn't mind dying." Would you put him on a respirator? Why or why not?

What was the most difficult question?

See above. This question isn't a difficult hypothetical/ethical questions, however I wasn't expecting to be badgered with my answer. I stated what I would do, and why. Then the interviewer reworded the question slightly, and I repeated my answer. Then the interviewer reworded the question again, and I stuck to my original answer. However, it was a little unerving since I wasn't expecting it (plus the interview went a little downhill from there too). Just be confident with your answer, stick with your original answer and prepare to be a little peppered.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, looked over my AACOMAS application and secondary essay. I know a student currently attending AZCOM so she gave me tons of hints alogn with her three roommates.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is beautiful. I love the weather and the Arizona climate. It was my first choice Osteo school, so I may be a little biased.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the downtime waiting for interviews, but that's to be expected at any interview. Also I was given a week's notice for my interview, so it made for an expensive plane ticket (Thank goodness for travel vouchers)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

In mid October it can still reach 100. I also wish I had know my flight would take six hours. In addition I wish I would have known I'd miss my connecting flight to Phoenix in the first place so I wouldn't have to sprint all the way accross Newark's airport only to be told I'll be put on the next flight 2 hours later (but I did get a free meal out of it).

What are your general comments?

The day was great. I like the whole Phoenix/desert atmosphere, so I was extremely excited about this interview. It also helped to know a couple of students currently attending. The day started off with a financial aid presentation, then you are split up into two groups, one group does interviews first the other does the tour first, then you flip flop halfway through. There were a few times students would walk into the room and talk to us for a while. Everyone was extremely nice. I didn't get any weird type questions (what animal would you be), but some in our group did. The interviewers are a student, Med school professor, and a practicing DO (that may/may not have any affliation with the school.
