Interview Day at Boonshoft School of
Medicine
Interviews are granted to applicants by invitation of the Boonshoft School
of Medicine Admissions Committee. You will be contacted by phone or e-mail
if selected. Interviews are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from August
through March. Candidates receive two one-on-one interviews. The purpose
of the interview is to gather information about your preparation and
qualifications for a career as a physician. Campus tours, as well as opportunities
to meet with faculty and students, are provided the same day as the interviews.
We are pleased you are interested in our medical school and look forward to meeting
you soon.

Student Home & Hearth Program
The Student Home & Hearth Program is designed to link interviewing students with current medical students to save money on hotel accommodations and/or airport transportation for interviewees. Medical students involved in the program are diverse in background and education as well as in stage of medical school training, and all of them have volunteered to have interviewees stay in their homes for an evening. If you stay with a current student, you should plan to pay for your own meals and, since most of our medical students live off campus, you may still need a rental car. You will receive additional information about the program from the Office of Student Affairs when your interview is confirmed.
After the Interview
The Applicant Welcome Committee is made up of current medical students who meet with applicants and provide tours of the school during Interview Day. Members have agreed to answer any questions you may have or provide additional information following your visit to Wright State. Photos and e-mail addresses are provided on the Applicant Welcome Committee page.
