Anyone know how this works? Seems a bit more nerveracking to be answering with all the other students around. I don't know why, but it seems like it may be more nerve racking with some of the other interviewees around. I guess they do it to save time. Are there any 1:1 interviews?

From their website:
If a student accepts an interview, he/she joins several other interviewees in meeting with members of a three-person interview panel?a panel selected from a volunteer group of basic scientists, current students, administrators, and clinicians. Team members question each student about his/her academic, personal, and health care preparedness for medical school, rating the students on a standardized evaluation form relative to each of these variables. At the conclusion of the interviews, the team members forward their evaluation for each student to the Admissions Committee.

At the AZCOM interview, you will meet with a panel of three interviewers. Usually a doc, a student, and a professor. But you will be the only interviewee in the process.
 
I interviewed at AZCOM yesterday. Even though it was a panel they did an excellent job of making me feel comfortable. Don't sweat it. Jus know your application well.
 
hey i interviewed yesterday too (9/29) it was great! you interview 1 on 3. the panel consists of a student, a PhD researcher and a DO. they are really nice, dont sweat it.
 
here at CCOM it's the same....you don't interview with the other interviewees present.

and don't worry.....just be relaxed....it's pretty low stress.


(and the PhD that's in the interview is one of the professors)
 
Thanks. I interviewed yesterday (the 1st). Very relaxed and "get to know you" type of interview.
