How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, the CCOM website, and paid attention during my campus tour.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The campus! The buildings were georgeous and everyone seemed happy to be there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The traffic driving from Chicago to the school. Don't be fooled by the name, it is located in the 'burbs.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They have a VERY strong neuro dept. and the 3rd and 4th year rotations are done, by and large, closer to campus than most other D.O. schools.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The facilities of CCOM impressed me FAR more than did NSU-COM or UNECOM. All students receive printed notes, made up by the prof., prior to each class - I wish all schools did this! The interview day was as one would expect, including a tour, financial aid talk, and interview. We did finish off by getting a meal in the cafeteria, which was a nice touch. The interview itself was somewhat stressful as the student seemed to have a chip on her shoulder. The other two interviewers, a D.O. and an M.D., were, however, much more laid-back and helpful. At the end of the day, I'd say this school is certainly worth a visit not just for those who care about having access to a city, but for applicants concerned with the strength of their clinical education. Plus, you'll get an anatomically correct heart or brain stress reliever!
