⭐ 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 interviewer was formal but not intimidating. This was a great first interview. The purpose of the interview is to find out more about you (ie: explanations for poor grades or low mcat scores) so that the interviewer can be your advocate during the Admissions Committee meeting.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What do you know about DO? What do you know about manipulation?
What was the most interesting question?
Was it a specific event or gradual decision that led you to decide to be a doctor?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked over their website, my AACOM application and my UMDNJ Supplementary application
What impressed you positively?
The students who gave the tour were not trained tour guides, but they knew the school very well and had a lot of positive things to say. Because it is a small school, the Dean of Admissions knows all the students and often chats with students informally.
What impressed you negatively?
They are currently renovating many of their buildings, so the space was quite cramped, but this should be resolved once the construction is complete.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I didn't know too much about 'manipulation,' which the interviewer asked me about.
