I interviewed yesterday. I was the one who asked you "hey, are you JPHazelton". I dont feel comfortable about saying the interviewer's name on here, just because I think it might be inappropriate. But SHE was not a DO, not a student nor an admissions staff. I'm guessing that sort of narrows it down since there were only three interview groups with 2 person per group. I felt uncomfortable because in the 20 something minutes of the interview, she must have looked up at me maybe twice. The rest of the time she kept looking at my packet she had. She asked me like two questions, one of them which she repeated four times. And it wasn't like one of those "why do you want to be DO" kind of questions where you can get creative with your answer. It was a factual question and I kept answering the same thing, changing my format of the answer but not the content because there was no other way of answering it, but I didn't know what else she wanted to hear from me. Got me all flustered. 🙁 On top of that, I know PCOM has my most recent transcript, but I guess the interviewers didn't have it. So when I was telling them about my post bac classes, they were like I'm sorry, we have no record of it and that got me bummed a little because my post bac grades are excellent and might have made them look at me differently. What made me feel a little better was that I wasn't the only person who felt that way. Someone else who had the same interviewer came back and had similar thoughts about her interview.
I don't know. I was so excited about the interview. And i was ready to take anything thrown towards me, good or bad, and make the best of it. but I don't feel so confident anymore *sigh*🙁
