How did you prepare for the interview?

Read studentdoctor forums. Read schools website. Researched Osteopathic medicine. Spoke to friend at the school. Read the interview feedbacks.

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of the faculty and students. Nice facilities, great anatomy lab. Good location. I stayed with a student the night before and he was a very gracious host. He was a great representative of the school.

What impressed you negatively?

My second interview felt rushed. The D.O. that conducted it was running behind schedule. Our interview started 30 minutes late and I could tell he was running behind schedule from the way he conducted the interview. He was still polite and friendly, but obviously distracted. But this was just a minor annoyance.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was very impressed with TCOM's interview process. I was nervous but the staff really helped us feel welcome and comfortable. The group sessions which I normally dread went rather well and were very low pressure. The tour and lunch time were very informative. My interviewers were very nice and friendly. I left with a good imression of the school and would strongly consider attending if I am accepted.
