How did you prepare for the interview?

The school's website, SDN, mock interview, reviewed my applications, thought of possible questions

What impressed you positively?

The people were so nice. The school was in excellent condition and we were treated very well. They also had us tour the apartments that were right across the street from the school. That was nice to see that housing option.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is not in the best part of town, but it is not too bad. Also, the cafeteria on campus is not the greatest to eat there often.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

The entire day was great. It started out in the Alumni center. This was a little awkward as there was no one greeting us, and we all sat around waiting to begin in silence. They gave us a talk about the school, about osteopathic medicine, and about what our future holds for us. Then, we had a student panel, followed by student-led tours of the campus. Lunch was in the cafeteria and was good food, but not a place you would want to eat at everyday. We then went to the student lounge and waited for our interviews. It was really chaotic and disorganized at first, and I was glad I was not one of the first people to be called for my interview. When it was my time, a student ambassador walked me across campus to my interview. The interviewers were very nice and very relaxed. Almost too relaxed that I worried I wasn't focused enough! I had some difficult questions about healthcare and stuff, but also some easy ones about why I want to be a doctor and experiences I have had in my life. Finally, I interviewed on Thursday and recieved my acceptance letter on Monday, so the quick turn-around time was impressive!
