The interviewers want to know how your undergraduate program has prepared you for medical school at Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Even though they'll have access to your transcripts, grades, and GPA, they want to hear directly from you where you felt your strong and weak points fell during that program.

"I am very proud of my achievements during my undergraduate education. Those courses added so much value that I will bring to my osteopathic medicine program. My best courses included physics, kinesiology, and anatomy. I excelled in these because they are related to the medical specialty I plan to pursue. I know that I can improve my time management. I overextended myself last semester with volunteer opportunities, and my study time suffered slightly. Now that I have identified the reason behind my time management challenges, I will only see improvement moving forward."
