How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN/Researched osteopathic medicine and its history/spoke with a DO graduate/ reread all the applicaiton materials and the info that they handed out while I was waiting to be called for the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer, staff, students guides, and fellow interviewees were very friendly and unpretentious, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The interveiw felt more like a discussion than an interview. I felt comfortable there. And the OMM and anatomy labs were the best that I have seen.

What impressed you negatively?

The library is poorly ventilated and dungeon-like. The gym was disappointing, but they said that they had plans for renovating it. Also, NYCOM is located in Old Westbury, a very expensive neighborhood.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

There were two groups of interview, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I was one of the morning interviews. (There were about 8 of us) While waiting for our interviews, we were given some info about the school to look over. My interviewer was a very friendly and spend the second half of the interview showing me a streaming video of one of his lectures. After my interview, which lasted about 15 minutes, we were shown a presentation about the Problem Based Learning Curriculum during lunch and financial aid. Then we were given a tour of campus. The second group of interviewees went for their interviews while the first group was dismissed.
