How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

The school is ranked #4 among all medical schools for primary care. This was the thing that impressed me most. Also, that the D.O. students are not backstabbing and ultra-competetive.

What impressed you negatively?

The other interviewees.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the cadavers are already dissected for 1st year students. The current students say this is a good thing because you see many different bodies, but I think the experience of cutting the body and seeing the layers of tissue is better.

What are your general comments?

I wasn't overly impressed by the school; the only reasons I would attend if accepted are because it is near home and they are ranked well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
