What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

It was really more conversational than it was a list of questions, some questions included flat out why do you want to be a doctor, who is your role model, where do you see yourself in 15 years, what do you do for fun, what would make you choose PCOM over other schools....

SDN

What impressed you positively?

The students are all very proud of their school and happy to be there.

What impressed you negatively?

The day was just breakfast, interviews and a tour. No one other than one doctor and tons of students talked to us, I wish we had more of a teachers perspective.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I didn't need to go to the information session and tour that was offered during the summer because it was about the same as the interview day.

What are your general comments?

Well waiting to be called for an interview was more tiring than anything else. You are welcome to sit in on a class but my interview was in the middle so I couldn't go early just in case the previous interview was quick and then I couldn't go latter because my interview ended up begin late. There isn't much information given about the school from faculty, the students do most of the talking.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
