What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING! An actual campus, great area, not all classes in one building, OMT taught by practicing DO's from the area, Chicagoland clinicals, awesome match rate DO or MD, everyone was so nice.

What impressed you negatively?

They ran a little late during interviews and cut the second group of interviewees short. And the dumb girl who brought her boyfriend with to the interview. Seriously.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

They had water, coffee and breakfast bars for us when we got there. The guy in charge of us for the day was really cool and laid back. We had a talk from him and then the dean and then we were split into 2 groups. Group A interviewed first while the other group got the FA presentation and the tour. Then B interviewed, then lunch. The interviewers only have your resume and essays for the CCOM application, not your GPA, MCATs, or AACOMAS info.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
