How did you prepare for the interview?

looked at the school's website (not really that great), mock interviews, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The atmosphere at the school; I really liked that it felt like a family where everyone seemed to know one another. The students would come into the room we were in and just talk to us and tell us about what we wanted to know.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview. I felt like it was really sterile and the interviewers didn't really try to make you feel comfortable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my dad had locked himself out of the car and would leave me stranded at the campus for an hour after everyone else had left.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I really liked the campus and the students, and they all really had great opinions about the classes and their professors. I also liked the match percent with residencies, but I really did not like the interview itself. I think part of it may be that I'm just being too self-critical, but I really felt like they could have done more to make it more of a personalbe experience. I had barely sat down when they started asking me why I wanted to be a DO. The D.O. in the room seriously just sat there with looking bored and saying barely anything the entire time. I guess I just didn't feel comfortable is what it all comes down to.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
