Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine

short, informal interview

faculty, facilities, mission

school research, prep common questions

nothing

Certain interviewers were more difficult to connect with/ make conversation with

Most of the staff seem very open and friendly

I looked on SDN, reddit, and spoke with past students about their experiences

Overall a pretty relaxed interview. Which interviewer you get paired with impacts this quite a bit.

Keep answers as short and to the point as possible.

The interviewer kept cutting me off and rushing me. I understand there wasn't a ton of time, but I found it a bit stange.

Laid back, conversational vibe.

ChatGPT, SDN, Confetto.

Make sure to bring questions. I was only asked 4 questions.

The location is a bit odd and can put you off. But if you come from a college town, it's a bit smaller than that.

How friendly everyone was and how much students and faculty loved the school. They really emphasize their responsiveness and feedback from current students. Everyone seemed happy.

Some basic prep. I was overprepping. Bullet point style is much better.

How to find opportunities to sell yourself and tell your narrative while answering questions

Difficult to make it conversational because my interviewer didn't engage that much

Interviewer was nice and not emotionally blunted

browsed SDN and Reddit for advice and potential questions, videotaped my answers
