You get to work side by side with the DO students, the campus is open basically 24/7 to study. Come on its New York City who wouldn't want to study here? The Didactic program. Rotations in the biggest city in the USA, you are going to see some very unique medical problems that a small town can't offer.

Faculty was very honest, they gave a very thorough introduction to the school. Current first years gave the tour. They had food for us.
What impressed you negatively?

The outside of the building made me think to myself "This is a dump!" But once you get inside it is a beautiful school.

Almost seemed like they were trying to hard to sell the school. The interviewers sat there and after i answered a question, they would write down a number in a box next to the question. yes, the gave me a SCORE.no notes, no nothing, just a number.

To double check the hotel I booked with, it was God awful! I didn't sleep a wink and had the biggest interview of my life the following morning. But it paid off, I'm in in!!!!!

That the interview would be so ... question, answer, question, answer.
What are your general comments?
-
The professors and the staff seem really nice and the interview was not bad, but then again I'm always relaxed. Some people were freaking out! Just stay calm and do some breathing exercises.

I guess it's bc they are a new school, they seem very passionate about teaching and about their students. However, it kind of turned me off that they were giving presentation after presentation saying why we should go to their school.
