How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't. I looked up some general information about the school and the history of the area, but that was about it. I didn't have any of the tenets of Osteopathic Medicine memorized (although some people did get asked this question). I also made sure to be able to clearly explain to them if I didn't have an answer and what I could do to find the answer.

What impressed you positively?

All of the students that came in and talked with us (>10), federal funding achieved, access to NMSU facilities (which are HUGE), solid gym, the town of Mesilla, close to Texas.

What impressed you negatively?

New school, currently low COMLEX scores, no COMLEX 2 scores posted yet.
