How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, looked at interview feedback, read primary and secondary apps, talked to current students, read Gevitz's book on DO's

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The campus is beautiful. The students are awesome and really care about each other and osteopathic medicine. Its also close to my home.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Some other applicants were using it as a fall back to MD programs, but most were really interested in osteopathic medicine.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they have a Patch Adams club. And that OMT is really presented well there.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview was incredibly relaxed. I had a clinician, a scientist and a MSII. They were really interested in finding out who I was and why I was interested in UNE and osteopathic medicine. I was suprised that I wasnt asked about my grades or MCAT scores because both are a little lower than their averages. But in truth, the interview really was just about finding out who I was and what I could offer to UNE.
