What are your general comments?

Interview was great! Very friendly, very low stress, and obviously did pretty well because i got accepted. The interviewers genuinely wanted to get to know you, which is lacking in many other schools. They wanted to know who you were and your reasons for becoming a DO. They didn't try to catch you off guard with their questions, nor did they try to really emphasize your low points. They made an active effort to really strengthen their view on you as an applicant to present the strongest case possible to the admissions committee.
