No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the medical school's website, read about D.O. philosophy and history, and practiced lists of interview questions. This site helped the most.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty was very friendly. Everyone stopped to say hi and the day was scheduled with breakfast, lunch, and student contact.

What impressed you negatively?

The financial aid meeting disclosed that the price of the school increases about 7.5%/year and next year's tuition is $40,000 for out-of-state students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Just read SDN and the day will be very predictable.

What are your general comments?

Stay at the General Lewis INN (~$60 after interview discount. It is a quaint, bed-and-breakfast place. The admissions office is very friendly, and the students and faculty make you feel at home. The facilities are modern (the school is not very old), and the workout center is an added bonus. Overall, if you are looking for a school focused on primary care and rural medicine, and aren't concerned with the high tuition rate, the school is a fabulous fit.
