No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about the school and did the typical stuff. The best preparation has been going to other interviews though.

What impressed you positively?

How easy it is to get into the city. The clinical correlates in the curriculum is cool too.

What impressed you negatively?

The school overall. Everyone was focused on the reputation and it seemed that several students wanted to be MDs instead of DOs. It's also insanely expensive (estimated cost of attendance is $57-61,000).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How many students skip lecture and how much like a badly taught undergrad class the students treat lecture. I was very inimpressed with the student body - it seemed as if they chose the school cause of reputation and not cause of true interest in osteopathic medicine.

What are your general comments?

It was a fine experience. The tour was horrible - the students were completely unprepared for it and disorganized. The interview itself was fine and the other students were very friendly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
