How did you prepare for the interview?

Read OSU website.

What impressed you positively?

It is a beautiful school, big, plenty of student resources. Lots of opportunities for students

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer really grilled me on difficult topics and issues. It was a very tough interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would center less on my experiences but more about my knowledge of the medical field.

What are your general comments?

The OSU administration is generally nice and welcoming. You sit in a big conference room and listen to what seems like hours of just talking and talking. You have lunch and go on a tour. Then you have your one interview. Judging by most of the experiences on this website, my interview stands out as a bad experience. Most people seem to have had a good experience. I would just say be very prepared to answer questions about the medical field like HMO's, ethical stuff, etc.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
