What impressed you positively?

the people were SO nice! everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there, and it seemed fairly stress free. although the school is in a crappy part of town, the facility is pretty nice and definitely makes up for it.

What impressed you negatively?

the location was horrible. the school is essentially in the ghetto of town. some of the students joked about hearing car alarms go off all day...and it would be other students' cars. they show us the tower apartments, which is an old hospital converted into an apartment building for students. its not really that nice at all, so im not sure why they include it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

at the beginning the dean talks to the group about osteopathic medicine and puts students on the spot asking various questions about the history of OM. be sure to know all about AT Still and the theories of OM!

What are your general comments?

the interview was really laid back. we met with one faculty member and one other person who also worked for the school. i couldn't believe how little stress there was, they made an effort to make us comfortable.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
