How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

Gorgeous campus, huge gym, sharp students, great FA presentation and school packet.

What impressed you negatively?

Suburban location. Almost no Matches outside the Chicago area. (I'm from the east coast and want to return here after school is over). DO/Pharmacy students take lectures together.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I think it's possible to fly in and out the same day.

What are your general comments?

Very pretty school, stuck in the middle of miles of ugly strip-malled suburbs. Administrative staff were very sharp and enthusiastic as were the tour guides. Interview was very short and tired (I was the last interview of the day) and I wasn't able to get a feel for teaching staff. I was accepted and chose CCOM over TCOM, but I just interviewed at NYCOM which would be a better fit for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
