How did you prepare for the interview?

"I went through most of the school's website, taking note of unique things (teaching modalities, history, mission statement, etc.). I also went through ALL of the interview questions posted here on SDN, writing out answers for the most commonly mentioned questions and difficult questions. For the less-often mentioned questions, I just made sure that I'd have something in mind to talk about during the interview in order to wing it. Lastly, I reviewed my AACOMAS application (activities, essays) and secondary essays." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"I loved interviewing at this school - before the interview started, my interviewer let me know that I'm a strong applicant and that this 'interview' was really just a way for the school to get to know me a bit more. This put me at ease, as did the interview questions, as they were pretty open-ended and not 'gotcha' questions." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Know your application (AACOMAS and secondary essays) well and be prepared to answer the most common types of (osteopathic medical school) interview questions, like 'Why D.O.", "Why Rowan/South Jersey", etc. They apparently have a very high post-interview acceptance rate (~94%), so if you've made it this far, you're golden!"
