reread transcripts, used this site to predict questions

What impressed you positively?

Atmosphere, students, and faculty for sure - very competent

What impressed you negatively?

Will be dissecting the leg with podiatry students as well as the normal 8

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Required to accept mid level laptop issued to you, for a hefty $1050 per year on top of tuition. Experience borders on almost too relaxed.

What are your general comments?

Interview was really quite easy. If you can't maintain your nerves through this interview, you may have a problem in medicine. Everyone is very friendly. I didn't like the fact that no time was spent regarding tuition, financial aid, etc. Because the fact of the matter is that once you get to this stage, you simply have to show that you're a competent, smart person who's dedicated to medicine - and if you've gotten this far that shouldn't be a problem. I got accepted and plan to attend, mainly because of location and frankly I prefer the philosophy of DO over MD.
