"All application specific! Though I will recite questions others were asked (role play), i.e. pretend you are the dean of a school meeting with a student who is being dismissed..." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Name a book written by a physician." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why do you have so few volunteering activities? (again, I think a lot of these seemingly ''skeptical questions'' are just asked to see you REACTION...They're not trying to belittle you, they want a mature, composed response)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"You made some grandiose statements in your personal statement (then proceeded to quote a line and asked me how I would back it up?)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why did not make any specific mention of osteopathic medicine in your personal statement?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"School's website, SDN" Report Response
"The anatomy lab is amazing (looks and smells). The students seemed enthusiastic. Most interviewers were down-to-earth and sympathetic toward students (i.e. looking for the good in you) rather than hostile or skeptical. Dr. Haight genuinely cares about enrolling quality students and especially those who have something unique to bring to the school (and he's good at it). The school absolutely has a campus feel to it." Report Response
"sincerely nothing." Report Response
"PLEASE GUYS, EAT a hearty breakfast in the morning...Because of my suit and the weather conditions, I was unable to grab breakfast on foot...I opted to drink a diet coke for breakfast and regretted it A LOT. My energy was low during the interview and I kept having to run to the restroom.. Lunch is not served until 1 PM." Report Response
"Excellent. At first I was somewhat concerned about things I had read regarding the surrounding areas (i.e. ''creepy,'' ''abandoned naval base,'' ''warehouse'')...In my humble opinion at least, those comments are grossly exaggerated. Yes, the area immediately surrounding the campus is still being developed...But the campus itself is fine...The surrounding areas and Vallejo are not GHETTO (at least not if you know what a real ghetto looks like)...It is a green, working class, ex-naval families city. The facilities of the school are just fine. The student atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. The Bay Area is gorgeous!" Report Response
