No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Everything: SDN, school website, Gevitz' ''The D.O.s''-a great read for those genuine interested in osteopathic medicine.

What impressed you positively?

Everything but especially Dean Silvagni who reinforced what a privilege it is to be a physician.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing: I've researched NSU-COM for a while now and all I have discovered in that time has made this school my #1 choice.

What are your general comments?

Review of basic science and clinical science years; group of 8 applicants divided with 3 going on tour of school facilities with 2 students while other 5 awaited interviews and then vice-versa; interviews with 2 faculty members-expecting it to be more stressful than it was (no good cop/bad cop routine); lunch with 4 students; bus tour of university campus with admissions personnel; meeting with Dean of NSU-COM. Very informative and much more laid back than I had expected from reading other reviews here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
