What are your general comments?
My experience during this school visit was one of the best in comparison to my other interviews. The staff, students, and interviewers made the whole day very tolerable and the panel interview was actually fun!! The interview panel does not have you academic numbers, so they read your applications and resume carefully and ask appropriate questions. There was breakfast in the morning followed by a financial aid presentation. Then we were broken into two groups. One group took an extensive tour of the campus and saw the teaching facilities and on campus housing. In the meantime the other group interviewed. After the tour, we had lunch. The day concluded with a talk from a clinical director who informed us about the strengths of AZCOMs program. Throughout the day, students came up and socialized with us and gave honest answers to our questions. At the end of the day, I was very happy with the program at AZCOM... I hope I get in!!
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What international news event from the past 6 months have you found to be the most interesting?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I prepared with a mock interview, reading SDN, reviewing my AACOMAS/Supplemental Application and studying AZCOM's website.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell us about yourself? (I didn't know where to start and how much detail they wanted, so that made it difficult)
What impressed you positively?
The training provided by the curriculum is thorough. They have a three week review period and exam before you start clinicals to make sure you retained knowledge from the first two years.
What impressed you negatively?
Students said the terms are short and about 37 weeks of coursework are condensed into 30 weeks. I guess its working out since the board exam pass rate is higher than any other DO program.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Oncampus apartment-style housing available and good rent rates.
