Do we know if there is a particular time when decisions go out?

I have an interview coming up here next week which I’m super excited for! I have what might be a silly question, when an interviewer asks you “why DO?” is that typically where you want to talk about why you want to be a physician in general, why specifically an osteopathic physician, or both? Just want to make sure I’m not going on for too long or too little when responding. Thanks for any advice!
IDK if someone replied to you but I always like to respond with stories or examples so I talked about when I first learned about osteopathic medicine from my job as a scribe and why working with these physicians pushed me to pursue osteopathic medicine. I also add in how over the years I have learned about OMM, the philosophy, etc. I hope that was helpful! :)

Definitely have something specific as to why you're applying to an osteopathic medical school other than "my grades weren't good enough for Harvard." Many moons ago when I applied I talked about the osteopathic philosophy and used that segue into a discussion on some experiences I had shadowing doctors.
