How did you prepare for the interview?

UNE has been one of my top choices for about two years now. Consequently, I tracked down as many UNE alums as possible, talking with them about their experiences there (including their interview), and shadowing them if they would have it. I also visited the school after submitting my primary application and passed out copies of my C.V. to the anatomist whose class I observed and other Profs I met. Of course, I read SDN and the UNECOM website too!

What impressed you positively?

How happy all of the students were to be there, the beautiful Maine setting, and the warmth of my interviewers.

What impressed you negatively?

The unspoken animosity existing between the med students and the undergrads with whom they share a campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview was more of an opportunity to talk about my passions than a test as to whether or not I am familiar with osteopathy.

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was EXTREMELY laid back. As all the alums told me: they don't want you to pollish their shoes-- just be yourself, and you'll do fine!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
