How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, talked with friends about ethical issues and the current healthcare situation in America. I also re-read my application answers and printed out a lot of literature from the internet regarding ethical and medical issues today.
What impressed you positively?
The staff and students were amazing! They all went out of your way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed and to answer all of your questions and concerns.
What impressed you negatively?
The school has bars on the windows and is surrounded by a huge fence. I didn't realize it was such a nice school in such a scary neighborhood.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That UHS is the only D.O. school that is using an integrated approach in their curriculum. It sounds like a great program and it seems that students are getting a great education at UHS that is different from its D.O. counterparts.
What are your general comments?
I had a great time at this school. I did not expect to like it nearly as much as I did. It was so convenient to stay at a hotel where UHS would shuttle you to and from the interview. As far as the campus goes, they have really nice facilities and a lot of their equipment seems new. The students are really down to earth and nice and want to help you anyway they can so that you get all of your questions answered. After spending some time at UHS, I think whoever decides to go there, if accepted, will get a great education in a really supportive environment.
