How did you prepare for the interview?

School web site. Principles of osteopathy. My application material.

What impressed you positively?

Having interviewed at other schools I can compare my experience. Enthusiatic and helpful staff and students at WVSOM. You get a feeling that they want you to be part of their family. The atmosphere reminded me of my private high school. A lady student was very informative about the PBS program during lunch. We had a good tour of the facilities. I got to see the head of a cadaver in the anatomy lab, and I did not freak out! The interview was conducted in a warm but professional manner, unlike some schools that treat you like a "worm" during an interview. Overall, the experience was good.

What impressed you negatively?

None

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Hampton Inn sells a "suite" which is one room and not two rooms as expected. Also, the staff is as cooold as the weather outside!

What are your general comments?

A M. D. who teaches at the college interviewed me. This pleasant person lowered my stress level to "zero". I feel we had a good discussions on principles of osteopathy. It was interesting to discuss osteopathy with an M. D. I hope I get selected, for this is the college of my choice.
