How did you prepare for the interview?

UMDNJ SOM website, spoke with students, and studentdoctor.net

What impressed you positively?

the students. they seemed happy at the school.

What impressed you negatively?

the main physician who interviewed me. he was far more focused on figuring out if i would go to a DO school over an MD than actually finding out who i was.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

the day itself was ok. i found the people were really nice and open. but the school itself was unimpressive both in facilities and location. specifically, i was unhappy with the interview. i feel that the doctor interviewing me was obsessed with the DO-MD rivalry and could not get past that.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
