The day was pretty great. I'm glad I got to go in the second round of interviews, because if I had sat around any longer I would have just gotten more nervous, and there is no reason to be nervous. They may ask you some tough questions, but as long as you have an answer and can put your thoughts into sentences, you'll be fine. It was neat seeing the smiles on all the interviewees faces when they all returned from their interviews. The family feel you get at OSU is priceless. All the students really help each other out, its not a cut-throat environment at all. They were really quick at letting me know that I was accepted. I think they mailed my FED-EX package on the wednesday after my friday interview.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How would you tell someone that they are going to die in 6 months? (oh and of course why do you wanna be a doctor)What was a difficult time in your life and how did you deal with it? What did it teach you?
Who would you pick for the TIME man of the year? Why? I said Christopher Reeve b/c of his involvement with stem cell research. Kinda brought the stem cell questions upon myself, but I know my position on it , so it wasn't a problem :)
sdn, read my apps, looked at the OSU-COM website, studied up on current events
What was the most difficult question?
If you could tell President Bush in ONE SENTENCE why stem cell research should be allowed, what would it be? Only one sentence...geez...had to think about that one carefully... :)
The interviewers were very positive and nice. Not intimidating at all. Really friendly people. The school is really nice and students dropping in to say hello was a good way to pass the time while other interviewees were being interviewed.
What impressed you negatively?
Sitting in a room for what seemed like forever waiting for lunch. But I guess thats expected :)
