Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The incorporation of technology in lecture presentation. The interiors of the buildings in my opinion make up for the exterior. The systems based approach and courses designed to prepare you to handle ethical situations and dying/grieving. Also of interest is the Western Alum that guest lectures second year students on cranial-sacral OMM.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The inability of the students to provide us with board pass rates and residency placements (not provided by administration). They clam that the school keeps those quiet. The high drop out rate of MS1's.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I had attended a Western U/COMP OMAC which provided a great deal more information than provided by the interview presentations.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall a good experience. Was last to interview so I had only a 20 min interview while others had 30-35 min. Was nervous about this but received an acceptance letter 13 days later. Overall a good school and strong DO program.
