This web site, OSU's website, common questions

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everything is becoming wireless, the facilities and clinical opportunities, the faculty seems very willing to help students succeed

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer was very hard to read and the student before me was interviewed for only 15 minutes! The interview was very relaxed but my interviewer did not really personally engage into any conversation until the first 20 minutes had passed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the day would be so relaxed and that you really dont need to go all out to prepare when they just expect you to be yourself.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was very relaxed and the people there were awesome. The day flew by. If you have an interview at OSU then you shouldn't sweat it. If your interviewer seems like they are done with his or her questions and its only been like 15 or 20 minutes then ask questions and try to engage into a conversation, just make sure you try to be genuine. I do not know if he meant to, but at the end of the interview I was told that it seemed that I would get a lot of interviews (even though my MCAT wasn't anything special) and to remember to keep OSU in mind...
