"As a non-traditional applicant, why didn't you consider medicine before?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What do you see as the weaknesses in your application?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What will you contribute to this school?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Not so much a question, as talking more in-depth about the specific and changing health care issues being faced by military veterans and how OHSU/the VA is dealing with them (interviewer is an MD at the VA hospital)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"The MPH specific interview was rigorous. Come prepared with an excellent understanding of the epi/biostats track and a concrete idea of how you will use it in the future, as well as well-developed ideas on public health in general, how it intersects with medicine and how you will balance the two throughout school and in your practice of medicine." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"SDN feedback, spoke with current MD and MPH students, mock interview at PSU career center (highly recommend!)" Report Response
"The time and energy each interviewer put into the interview and prep - it was obvious that had read file/essays and each had specific, well thought out questions. Friendliness of staff and current students, sweet bike rack room, awesome fitness center on the waterfront." Report Response
"Lunch was pretty bad - bring some snacks. Parking is a nightmare and some of the buildings are pretty old and broken down....in a charming, WPA sort of way." Report Response
"That I would have to walk all over the (huge and confusing) campus to meet my interviewers. Give yourself plenty of time to figure out and get to where you are going." Report Response
"I've been impressed by the amount of time and energy that OHSU puts into selecting their students, as well as working to develop a more modern and integrated curriculum. However, I think the timing and responsiveness (i.e. sloooow) of their application and decision-making processes makes life incredibly nerve wracking for applicants...but I think it's worth the wait."

"Faster turn-around time on secondary applications and file reviews. I was 80% through the process with all the other schools I applied to before I even received a secondary from OHSU." Report Response
