Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine

They really delved deep into my open-file interview, which I appreciated because it allowed me to speak a little bit on specific issues instead of having to explain everything from scratch.

Nothing really...ICOM does a great job of being very transparent of everything in the interview and how it will all go before the interview occurs and they give you access to a lot of videos you can watch that answer any/all questions you could think of!

Nothing honestly! Great school and great vibes

Everyone was very friendly and inviting, and they had a student panel after the interview to answer more specific questions!

Mock interview with spouse, looked up questions on internet and SDN

The school seems like a great place!

I wished I'd brought something to write down advice that I was given. Definitely ask if you can though, I don't know if that's allowed or not

Not much. The school felt warm and welcoming, and I believed that they were really sincere in wanting to train good doctors

It felt like everyone there, the president and dean, the interviewers, and the student panel, wanted me there. It didn't feel like they were looking for reasons to reject me, but for reasons to accept me. They also gave me a ton of advice for starting med school. To help ease nerves for an interview, they also had a recruiter come in ahead of the interviewers to ask me what I did for fun and start a fun conversation

Practice interviews with a few different people that I trusted. Practiced answering common medical school questions.

One thing I really liked is that 5mins before the interview, they had a student as "tech support" join the meeting early and have small talk, helped to decrease nerves.

Dean and president were supposed to be there for the welcome part but weren't, so just showed 2 pre-recorded welcomes

Interviewers obviously had reviewed my file beforehand, conversation flowed easily, good follow up questions.

Mock Interviews, SDN guides

Everyone seems really passionate about ICOM. The Dean and President seem fantastic and genuine, and the admissions staff and interviewers were equally a excellent.

Read SDN and talked over questions with family members

Seems like a decent school. Location could be a bit better perhaps.

N/A

The interviewers offered very little gestural or verbal feedback on my interview answers so I had no real idea if I was doing well or not.

The students were very enthusiastic about the school.
