Hello SDN, been a long time lurker.
I interview here on 2/3. Any advice for the interview? Any materials to study before going in (LoL)?
Hi doctorgator! Don't stress out about the interview too much. It's a group interview but they ask you questions individually, so as long as you don't repeat what others already said (or at least acknowledge that they said it), it's not a problem at all. The questions are usually regarding specific activities or something in your secondary, so know your app.
I thought the faculty interviewers were extremely friendly and engaging. The only thing that was off for me was the student interviewer. He didn't really resonate with my application so he gave me very dry, generic, redundant questions that weren't really relevant to my app and never smiled (maybe trying to be a hardass? power tripping? or just didn't like me as a candidate?). But I'm sure you'll jive with at least 1 of the 3 interviewers!
I got tons of DO questions - why DO, difference between MD/DO, how to implement DO techniques, etc. (although only 1 of my interviewers was a DO, so make sure not to say anything anti-MD). As long as you're prepared for that, you should be all set!
Oh yeah, make sure not to space out while others are talking!
