"What specialty are you considering? (This was actually asked after I indirectly brought up the topic)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What do you do for fun?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why D.O.? Why only D.O.? (Since I applied only to D.O. medical schools) (Note for the bottom section on travel - My flight was delayed twice, then canceled, rescheduled, then delayed again due to de-icing problems, so I ended up spending more than 12 hours trying to get to PCOM and hence missed the morning breakfast. I am just glad I made it in time to be the last one to be interviewed at precisely 11:30 AM.)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Is there an area where you prefer to practice medicine?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Reviewed SDN questions and feedbacks. Reviewed the history of Osteopathy. Reviewed application and PCOM information packet." Report Response
"The school had a solid campus with multiple buildings, facilities and a garage. Saw two large lecture halls with state of the art AV systems, reminding me a little of elite private northeast colleges. Cafeteria is also better than I expected and the food is not as bad as I feared. PCOM also gave me the impression that they cared not only about their students academic well-being but also social and physical well-being, establishing a decent workout and exercise area with plenty of basketball courts. Reminds me of the good old days in college. Finally, there is a bus stop right outside of PCOM's front entrance, allowing a quick trip into the city." Report Response
"The odor in the anatomy lab was a bit pungent, though the student tour guide said one gets used to it after a while. Maybe the filter system is not all that state of the art. I did not get to meet any faculty members, partly due to the fact that I could not attend the breakfast." Report Response
"None" Report Response
"In general, my interview experience was a success. I certainly liked what I saw. I like the location of the school, being situated in Bala-Cynwyd, a predominantly residential and office building area. Even though I ended up being interviewed with one of the toughest interviewer (I found out after the interview) I was not put off by her initial sterness. I recommend PCOM." Report Response
