How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interviews and free writing to practice answering questions.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers did a good job of appearing nonjudgmental and facilitating conversation. The long interview day allowed for interviewees to learn a lot about the school and Q&As BEFORE the panel interview.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview day was very long (5.5 hours including breaks). Mine was 8:45am - 2:15pm. The panel interview style was awkward and stressful because answering questions in front of other interviewees made it feel more intense.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had studied the principles of osteopathic medicine more in depth before.
