How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, osteopathy history texts, talking to alumni and a retired osteopathy professor, writing out my anwers to possible questions...

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed so happy even though they are studying like mad. Great facilities and beautiful (even though it is small) campus.

What impressed you negatively?

The assistant dean was fililng in for the dean and he did not seem to be happy about it. Came off as a bit rude in his introductions to the group as well as in my interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much it really costs. Tuition plus living expenses they estimate to be over $58,000 a year.

What are your general comments?

One interviewer started off saying to relax, just be myself and there was no need to try and sell myself. However, the way the questions were posed and the stiff demeanor did not make for a relaxing experience where I felt I could just be myself. I was glad the medical student was there. He was very friendly and made it more comfortable.
