No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, which was way helpful, and that is why I'm filling one of these out too! To hopefully help someone like it helped me. I went over some things in my own head but I didn't want to sound rehersed when I went in there, so I just kinda went for it.

What impressed you positively?

The location of the school is amazing! In the mountains....much better than flat OH! The anatomy and OMM labs were really great.

What impressed you negatively?

Of course, the cost. It's way too expensive to go there, although if I get accepted, I will make it work!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing was of any surprise.

What are your general comments?

Stay at the General Lewis. It's really cute there, and it just makes it easier. You meet and have breakfast there at 7:30am, then you go to the school and meet some admissions people. Then the interviews are conducted, while it isn't your turn you are free to roam the building and sit in on lectures, which was cool. Then you go for lunch one on one with a student, which is good to get to know the school from a student's view. Then you go back and take a tour of the school. It's pretty basic, but it's really relaxed. They don't want to make you feel intimidated. Hope this helps!
