How did you prepare for the interview?

school website, this site, writing answers down to hypothetical questions

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really laid back, the stress level is only that high because I was the last person to be interviewed, but the interviewers did not grill me at all.

What impressed you negatively?

waiting 3.5 hours for my interview in one room, but students did come in to chat

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

a better idea of OMM

What are your general comments?

Overall, this school is laid back and non-competitive. Heck, when we went to see the gym it was like my undergraduate school all over again, everybody pumping iron! PCOM gives you a lot of opportunities in alternative medicine and careers that you will not find anywhere else.
