interview process was very laid back. your interviewer has about 4-5 questions they have to get thru. Just prepare for common questions like Why medicine, why DO specifically and think of a few scenarios you've experienced that you can use for situational questions like "tell me a time where you...." Then there's also a group activity that's very laid back as well plus a student Q&A.

Congrats! It's interesting that the school makes distinctions between different parts of the state, I didn't know about that

Good luck to everyone who had an interview today or past week. Any advice on how to prepare? What type of questions do they ask in general other than (Why medicine, Why Chsu, Why osteopathic medicine etc)

Interview went really well! There was only 4 questions so there wasn't anything I felt like I needed to brush up on, just basic ethics and personality stuff.

Honestly the questions were super generic. I think the only non-generic question was asking what you'd do if you caught a classmate cheating on an exam.

Accepted! IS reapplicant with a 3.3 BCPM and -1pt drop on my 3rd MCAT (499, 507, 506). Met w/ adcom for an advising session this cycle since I love their mission/curriculum. They heard me out and told me to reach out if I was screened out pre-secondaries given one of my <125 subsection scores. Anything is possible if you advocate for yourself!!!

Primary submitted: 7/5
Secondary received: 7/13 | Secondary submitted: 8/18
II received: 9/29 | Interview: 10/11
Accepted call: 10/23
