How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at the NYCOM website, and read up on osteopathic medicine for specific names and dates, read feedback on this wonderful site!

What impressed you positively?

The student ambassadors were wonderful, as were the admissions staff. The anatomy lab seems well equipped, as do the lecture halls.

What impressed you negatively?

Very, very, very, very small school, and the student facilities (i.e. gym, library) are very limited, and some (housing) are non-existent.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How small NYCOM is, and how separated it is from NYIT.

What are your general comments?

I was expecting to be grilled on my desire to go into osteopathic medicine, and on the history of osteopathic medicine, etc, but I was not asked any questions about it at all. It was fairly obvious to me that they had decided to accept me before my interview, and that the interview was merely a formality that I had to go through in order to get my acceptance (which I did one week later.) I was actually a little disappointed, because I had really done a good deal of research, and I was eager to discuss osteopathic medicine with a D.O. I tried to lengthen my interview by asking questions like "Do you like working here?" Hey, I tried!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
