What impressed you positively?

What impressed you negatively?

the school itself and the interview format. I felt it was very uncomfortable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school is very poor looking. It just does not look like a medical school. I have interviewed at several DO campuses and this one was by fear the weakest.

What are your general comments?

Interview was uncomfortable and stressful. Every other interview I have been on we were not required to interview with and in front of other students. I don't understand the reasoning behind this. Campus appears to be poor and students were not enthusiastic...Gym and weight room were in poor shape...We were not allowed to see certain buildings...There is no on campus housing. Not my first choice for a medical education.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
