"We've received over 1000 applications this year. Tell us why we should pick you? What qualities do you possess that make you unique in this applicant pool?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Do you have any questions for me? (I asked a lot of questions. Come prepared with GOOD questions about the school, curriculum, faculty, etc. to show you're interested in their school)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why did you score so low on verbal and reading comprehension on the PCAT? (Well.. I expected that it'll come up since it was open file so I was prepared for it!)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
""Why should we pick you?".. I know this is a very generic question but I have trouble w/ it! After I told him my qualities, he still wasn't convinced and asked me 3 times! hahahaa... He was cool though. He gave me quite a few chances to express myself. Remember to always give examples and backups for everything you say." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read SDN feedback! Practice mock interviews with friends and family. Research the highlights and missions of the school, city, everything!" Report Response
"The faculty, admissions committee and the current students were fabulous and extremely nice! Curriculum has a very innovative aspect where it puts you in a group with students from other health disciplines and assigns you to work with a patient who has a chronic illness. This definitely exposes you to more patient care starting year 1! The atmosphere of the school and city were very lively. Food and restaurants at every corner. Everything is walking distance! Guaranteed on-campus housing for first year students!" Report Response

"The interview process was VERY organized and prompt! We came and were split into two groups. I was in Group 1, so I took the writing test first, then participate in a Question and Answer session with current students, then interviewed separately with 2 faculty members (30 min. for each interviewer). For Group 2, it's vice versa, which means they got interviewed first, writing test, then Q & A session. At the end, both groups went on a campus and hospital tour! It was lovely. I got my acceptance email 11 days later! The fastest I've seen from other students was 1 week later!!! Good luck!!" Report Response
