What impressed you positively?

My interviewer had lunch with us prior to the interview. He was a wonderful person, very kind and genuinely interested in us. The student who gave the tour was very informative and pleasant. The school, overall, is impressive, especially the OMM lab and the simulated patient lab.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is a bit small, but not terrible. The financial aid representative was not there to give a presentation (we were given hand-outs), and the tour was a bit rushed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The whole day was relatively low-stress. I definitely worried too much beforehand.

What are your general comments?

For me, interview day at NYCOM was a great experience. The interviewer (a DO) was extremely personable and made sure we were all relaxed. The student ambassador was a great resource and gave a very good sense of the school. I think the school provides all of its students with a great education and numerous resources, and I since I was accepted, I look forward to attending in the fall.
