No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread my app, SDN feedback, UNECOM website, and reviewed on Osteopathic medicine (They really want you to know what osteopathic medicine is and why you want to study it)

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were bright and comfortable. Everybody I encountered from deans to students were happy and positive. I really felt like the school cares about its students and that the students worked together cooperatively.

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition is a bit high and the availability of year-round housing is a little scarce because of the tourists in the summer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That when they said refreshments they meant you could get anything you wanted at the snack bar; if I had known I wouldn't have bought lunch before I got there.

What are your general comments?

We had a tour by a first year student, and even got to see the anatomy lab which was nicely set up. The tour guide was very positive and seemed really happy with his choice to attend UNECOM. After the tour we gathered and waited for the interviews. It was really informal but I learned a lot about the school and the students while I waited. The interview was with a professor and a second year student. It wasn't very stressful and I didn't think they asked anything strange or unreasonable. Although they did ask about my status at other schools I was applying to. Mostly, however, I got postive vibes from everybody.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
