Yeah! I now have two interviews. Both are DO schools, one of which I am interested in attending. The second interview is the lowest on my list, but it's better than nothing. I'm still waiting on my state to reply. Is it hopeless at this point? Why has Ohio been so silent. I applied to a few schools here, and nothing. I feel so stood-up.
I had a wonderful chat the other day with a medical student. I was at one of my specialists' offices, and had been waiting for over an hour. I was not happy, and they couldn't find my chart. Anyway, he had to deal with my wrath first. Of course, send in the new guy to deal with an unhappy Jew. He turned out to be really great. We ended up talking about medical school and being nontraditional applicants (of which he was one). He doesn't think it's hopeless, but maybe he was just being nice.
Of course when things get crazy, they get crazy in piles. So here I am going to my various doctors, and each one wants to do something extra. I have so many appointments right now, it's ridiculous. I certainly don't have any horrible medical conditions, just some rarities that I think doctors love. I imagine getting a different "case" is kind of exciting.
So what will these schools ask me? Will I need to know what's going on in Cambodia? Will they ask me who I voted for in the primary and why? Do I need a good plan for the future of medicine? Should I pretend that I don't wear a headscarf? At least I plan on wearing a nice brown suit, and not the traditional black. The neckline is still kosher.
Help!

Ultimately they want to know that you are committed to the program and that you will finish it and bring glory to you school. If you don't know something, don't be afraid to say that you don't know a damned thing about it, or ask them to be more specific.
Ohio State never actually sent me a rejection they just changed my online status to "Not being considered" or some such thing and never notified me. I waited for months than finally got anxious checked online out of desperation and found out I had been denied months ago. Thanks OSU! Vermont did that to me as well.
