Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine

Interviews will not occur as advertised.

The reviewers were not friendly or conversational. Technical issues galore.

The Admissions Team is extremely welcoming and positive. And in theory, the plan for the day should work well.

ChatGPT, MMI practice scenarios.

Not conversational. Reviewers read off a sheet of paper. Nobody introduced themselves. Question, answer, question, answer. Camera off because no more questions. One interview did not occur because of the reviewer's technical issues. Reviewer's looked like they were sitting in closets with the light off. One reviewer did not turn their camera/mic on or engage until halfway through the designated time.

Mock MMI and traditional interview practice. Not much to prepare for, just be personable and honest.

The interview was an MMI format with very conversational questions. No questions were overtly medical-related. Be prepared for content relating to medical humanities.

The MMI was way more chill than I thought it'd be

20 minute video on A.T. Still lol (the physician, not the school)

They seem to have strong student support systems

MMI practice with ChatGPT

condense the q&a and virtual tours into shorter blocks

extremely long and difficult to sit through at times, especially with the powerpoint presentations

student tour guides were personable

The MMI sessions aren't high stress! Prepare, but remember to read the question and authentically reply. They have 1 main question and follow up questions.

If I could take notes during presentations - I realized I looked distracted writing notes down off screen

Q&A sessions were candid and authentic; focused on what applicants wanted to know; everyone was warm

mock interviews, reading Dr. Gray's interview book, reading Dr. Desai and Dr. Katta's MMI book, looking up questions, looking over activities and remembering examples

The dedication to the osteopathic mission from the faculty that presented during the interview day.
