How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website, talked to students

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are nice - it really is a beautiful campus, and the OMM lab is great. They also have 4 students to a cadaver

What impressed you negatively?

The school is out in the middle of nowhere and everything in town closes early. It is very small town America - and there is very little diversity in both the town and the school. Also - the medical school building is shared with the undergraduates

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really

What are your general comments?

Everyone arrived at 8:00 and we spoke with the current students for a while and then were led into a room to see a powerpoint presentation on school facts and financial aid, and the Dean spoke to us. We each had a packet telling us what time we were to go on the tour and what time our interview was (and it listed our interviewers names). My interview was about an hour later than what it was stated to be. They did offer breakfast (danishs, bagels) and lunch and we were free to leave after our interview was over
