What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 2)?

"What's something about DUQCOM's mission that stood out? (a lot of questions about the mission and why DUQCOM, what makes it unique to you, why apply there)" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Why Osteopathic medicine?" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

"What fictional character I would be" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most interesting question?

"Any idea about what you will be doing in the future while staying within the role to give you a sense of accomplishment like a balance (for example, doctor in the morning, teaching/mentoring in the evening for me)" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

"What would I do as the Dean if a student received a DUI?" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

"If a fellow medical student were to ask you for the answers to a test, what would you say?" More from this Member | Report Response | I was asked this question too

How did you prepare for the interview?

"Practicing basic/common questions: Why DO? Why this school? Researched the school and the area (very important). Why Pittsburgh? Don't overdo it, just be yourself. They can tell if you're reading a script; be natural and let it flow on its own." More from this Member | Report Response

"Honestly, I mostly winged it. Didn't want to rehearse answers and sound like a robot. Learn everything you can about the school, and make sure to know everything you put on your application. After that, they truly just want to get to know you, so be yourself, as cliché as it sounds - it couldn't be more true." More from this Member | Report Response

"Practice questions/interviews" More from this Member | Report Response

"Mock interview, looking at common questions" More from this Member | Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"Everyone was so nice and really wanted you to succeed. It is a really well-developed new school with so many clinical rotation sites. Literally have every single residency option there, you could do anything!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Pretty much everything. The brand new building and technology are a HUGE plus, but mostly the faculty and staff were very welcoming and genuine. They have a clear vision of who they want to be and why they are doing it." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities, cadaver labs , holoanatomy, sim hospital" More from this Member | Report Response

"The staff was SO friendly and interviews were conversational - I was stressed going into it but after my first one-on-one I felt so comfortable and relaxed." More from this Member | Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Nothing" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing, honestly. The interview only left positive impressions. The fact that it is a new school is the only doubt I have, but they put that mostly to rest with everything they presented on and showed us." More from this Member | Report Response

"No clubs for students yet, research is not guaranteed, dress code is business professjonal" More from this Member | Report Response

"N/A" More from this Member | Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

"Know your application in and out. Be ready to answer questions about your app - bad grades, withdrawal, if any, and whatnot." More from this Member | Report Response

"I've only been to two in person interviews so far, but this one was by far the better of the two, despite the other school being much more well established." More from this Member | Report Response
