No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

OSU website, SDN, AMCAS, Secondary, ethical questions posted online, researched current issues in healthcare.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are wonderful, students and staff were very friendly. Several med. students stayed with us as we waited for our interviews sharing their thoughts on the school and keeping those who seemed pretty nervous as calm as possible.

What impressed you negatively?

Even at the med school, there is no end to the OSU Buckeyes. It is a little overwhelming.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everything for which I had a question was explained before my interviews, so I really did not have much I wish I had known ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

Both student and faculty interviews were extremely relaxed, more conversational than most of the interviews I have had for schools, jobs etc.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
