How did you prepare for the interview?

Read student doctor experiences, reviewed my own applications, PCOM website and some osteopathic history.

What impressed you positively?

EVERYONE was absolutely awesome! The immediate feeling you get when you walk on campus and see people interacting is a family atmosphere that is low-stress and non-competitive. It was great!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not really any surprises!

What are your general comments?

It was a great experience where everyone was friendly and laid-back. They want to get to know who YOU are as a person, they don't care about grades by the time you get an interview (you've already made that cut). It was just great!
