What impressed you positively?

Dr. Haight is just as good, or better, than everyone says. If I was to go to this school it would because of the things he said. He really makes you feel good about being selected for an interview. The others I interviewed with were absolutely amazing and talented people. Dr. Haight knows how to pick 'em, I felt good knowing I was selected among such amazing people.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are not near as good as other DO schools, except the anat. lab. Everything else had an old and run down feel, the workout room was a joke.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

DO NOT USE MAPQUEST the directions were way off.

What are your general comments?

I was one out of 6 students interviewed to 3 faculty. I was asked 3 questions in about an hour's time. The interviewers were cordial and seemed interested, but they didn't have a chance to get to know us at all with 5 other people in there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
