"Tell me about yourself....(as usual)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"tell me about your family; where do you see yourself 10 years from now." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"The one about the female drug addict. Again, I can't stress enough about the importance of medical experience and shadowing. I shadowed several surgeons, GP's, Opth's over the years and went into the OR on several occassions and the interviewer was a bit puzzled because to him that didn't seem to be enough shadowing. " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What would I do as a doctor to help a drug addict who kept having operations as a result of her addiction." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"above. It doesn't seem difficult to look at it, but the interviewer should have been more specific as to how I should best help the patient. I took the question to mean what would I do in order to deal with her problem and dicuss the options; rehab, etc. while providing medical care. The interviewer later mentioned that the patient needed immediate surgery; which was the heart of the question. should have asked the question more specifically."

"review some of the blogs here; look up general questions. Nothing too drastic." Report Response
"the laid back atmosphere. Everyone seems to want to bend over backwards in order to help you. Mr. Larkin made everything click into place nicely. " Report Response
"Nothing too bad; One interviewer was around 45 minutes late. It seems many interviewees have gone through the same thing at this school; some don't show up at all." Report Response
"How much emphasis is placed upon medical experience. It seems that mcats, gpa's, and basic medical involvement and volunteer work take a back seat to extenuating circumstances and years of varried medical experiences. For this school shadowing, volunteering, and research don't seem to be enough. Many people who get in have had some grandious story either about setting up triage units in Guam or having more clinical experience that would rival 3rd and 4th years. I know some people whose mcats and gpa's would be a stretch for D.O. schools and yet they get in easily here because of a great story or unusual experience. " Report Response
"The interview experience as a whole was a good one. The questions aren't too tough, just the general stuff; why medicine, tell me about yourself, etc. In fact, I think the experience is deceptively easy. Everyone is so nice and helpful; it seems you've already been accepted. Then to be low on a wait list because other applicants made the decision to go into medicine at an earlier age (I mean like 7)seems a bit unfair." Report Response
