"About identifying problems in healthcare/how they could be fixed"
"What healthcare disparities did you see during COVID-19?"

"Why did you apply to this campus in particular?"

"SDN, school website, mock interview"
"Mock interviews and brainstorming answers"
"Practice! Be confident but also willing to learn ."
"I really enjoyed my conversations with my interviewers - I never felt pressure, it seemed like a genuine conversation with people I could see being my professors."
"Very high first pass COMLEX rates."
"Interviewers truly wanted to get to know me outside of medicine."
"Their policy on using Z-scores to encourage the class to compete against previous classes, not among themselves."
"Organized interview, everyone was really nice and tried to make the day as least stressful as possible"
"The admin and staff clearly care about their students."
"The day was 8;30-4 yet the interview was only 30 minutes - the rest felt like it dragged on a little and since it was virtual it was hard to focus."
"Interviewers felt uninterested from the start, made me nervous through the interview and made me feel like I did worse."
"The admissions presentation had connectivity issues and the moderator seems disinterested. One of my interviewers seemed to only ask questions to determine my credentials, not really to get to know me as a person. Many times I felt as I was just regurgitating information from my application. I was abruptly interrupted in the middle of my response to be "enlightened" that medicine is a calling, and not something someone pursues because they have the intellectual curiosity to do so. I had heavily implied that my life experiences made me align towards DO instead of MD as my future responsibility and calling, but I did not explicitly state that."
"No info about financial aid, large non refundable deposit if accepted"
"The outside of the renovated hospital. The inside was nice though."
"The session starts in the morning with a little session from the COO and the assistant of admissions. You are then off until your designated interview session. The afternoon session is a few different areas about the school that is very informative."
"Just be yourself. They want to know who you are."
"When I asked my interviewer what made them want to come work at TouroCOM - Middletown, NY, I was plainly told that their father founded the school. No more conversation ensued."
"The interview was a little good cop, bad cop. Stay calm and be honest. The interviewers want you to do well, and want you to succeed."

"Professionalism and enthusiasm go a long way. Everyone is human, but the goal of interviews and the admissions presentation is to entice future students to choose your school just as much as students are presenting themselves to entice your school to choose them."
