How did you prepare for the interview?

I used Student Doctor Network, read a lot on their website, and wrote out my answers to commonly asked questions to cement them in my mind.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are beautiful and the faculty seem to stress a non-cutthroat environment.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much, but the interviewers were all extremely stoic and were difficult to read.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They have a free OMM fellowship that can be done while in med school that wipes out the last 2 years tuition ($60k for me).

What are your general comments?

The actual interview was nerve-wracking. I was relieved when finished.
