✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Didn't. I had two previous interviews so I kind of went with that. Look at this site, a bit at the school's website.

What impressed you positively?

Century Towers, the apartment complex across from the school. You can have pets there.

What impressed you negatively?

The anatomy lab. Also, I thought the students seemed competitive...more so than at other schools I had been at.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school is located about 2 blocks away from a super shady part of the city. Supposedly 8 prostitutes were murdered near the school a month or something before classes started this year.

What are your general comments?

They really tried to sell the school. I feel that wanting to attend a certain medical school should feel right, and this place for some reason, did not. I didn't like the setup of the OMM lab, and I also didn't like the anatomy lab. Interview was cake, even though I supposedly got the hardest person (which who by the way is Dr. Butterworth...she's old, but cool).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
