How did you prepare for the interview?

Two previous interviews were good preparation. I read up on the school, topics concerning medicine in current events--just read the newspaper, sdn questions.

What impressed you positively?

The area is pretty and all school activities are in one or two buildings, not spread apart. Compared to other DO schools, I do not think they do a good job with their interview day. But don't pick your school based on the rooms they sit you in to wait or the food they serve for lunch. The hospital rotations are good and it looks like residency match is too.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost is awful. I lived in the midwest for my first 22 years, and recently moved to the east. I am still annoyed by how expensive life is out here and more so on Long Island.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Allow an extra 5 minutes to find the admissions office and waiting area.

What are your general comments?

It felt good to me because I think I gave my best interview. The tour guides were enjoyable and answered questions well. I like the school and I like the clinical experience that a large population affords. The interview was not stressful, and mine was short. Be confident in yourself and that your reasons for wanting to be a physician are genuine. Don't try to be impressive because sincerity and character shine through on their own. You are the expert on you, not the interviewer. So, don't be sway from your true thoughts and answers. And if you don't know an answer, just admit that (see question 2--I had no clue, and I'll bet that he just wanted to see if I could say, &quot;I don't know&quot; without tiptoeing around it or blurting out some ridiculous answer). I hope this helps and good luck!
