"Tell me about your undergraduate experiences " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Tell me about your MCAT scores (I took the MCATs twice...the first time I bombed the test, but I improved the second time)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What was the last book you read (This was an easy question for me because I read a lot, but I know some of the other students were asked the same question, and the interviewer wanted at least two titles)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What do you regret most about your life so far?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"If you were a third grade teacher, how would you explain the function of DNA? (Although this question was on SDN, I did not prepare for the question because I figured I wouldn't be asked it since I am not a teacher...so I gave my best on the spot answer)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN, other interviews, read my application, talked to current students" Report Response
"I was impressed that the students do rotations with MS from Temple, UPenn, and Drexel. The location is awesome since you are able to take advantage of the city, but do not have to pay the high rent to live in it. " Report Response
"Since there are so many MS1, (during my interview, I was told that there are 270-something MS1) the average number of students per cadaver is 5 or 6. One student explained that unless you want to cut, it isn’t a problem. But, in my opinion, I want to make the most of my education and cutting is as important as any other skill learned during medical school. Also, I was disappointed that PCOM has not integrated STAN (look it up on the website) into the program yet. " Report Response
"I wish I had known that only breakfast was included (not lunch). Breakfast was held in the cafeteria, and the applicants had a wide range of breakfast foods to munch on. Also, there was a 15 minute break between each interview (Luckily we only had 6 people interviewing). Also, many of the students that interviewed already knew current students from undergrad (can be seen as a positive or a negative). " Report Response
"Overall, I had a great experience. The interview was really easy and I think the interviewers really took their time to get to know me. I never felt intimidated by the interviewers (although the other applicants would disagree). I also liked that the students all seem ecstatic and proud to be a part of PCOM. Good luck!"
