How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reading over my primary and secondary applications, mock interviews, and actual interviews at other schools helped too

What impressed you positively?

The energy and technology of a new school.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how early the interview let out, so I would not have spent 8 hours in the airport. My interview day was over at about 10a.m. However, I do like how they didn't waste anytime describing issues I'd only be interested in once accepted, like the other schools I've interviewed with.

What are your general comments?

I interviewed with PCOM-Georgia branch. The interview seemed very low stress, which I've found to be not uncommon of the newer DO schools I've interviewed with. They even told us before the interview that they were not going to ask any outlandish questions, and they held true to that.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
