How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interviews with my boyfriend, SD.net, looking up the osteopathic philosophy.

What impressed you positively?

The students on campus seemed very happy and my interviewer (Emergency Medicine Physician) was such a sweet man and it was nice to know he was part of the faculty. Also, the actor-patients are a great way to get your feet wet in the patient-physician interaction.

What impressed you negatively?

The financial aid woman is a bit intense and slightly rude, more so during the open house then the interview session but still kinda scary. The anatomy lab doesn't seem to be ventilated very well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you do your research there isn't much out there that can surprise you, I pretty much knew everything I was told that day.

What are your general comments?

I just found out I was accepted which is awesome, only took a week. The overall experience was good, I was the first one interviewed in the morning session and my interview was a bit more intense then a conversation as many people seem to have, but none the less the interviewer was very nice and tried to make sure I was relaxed. None of the questions asked were too left field and be prepared to sell yourself to the school as it seems most people were asked to do so. This was my first interview and it was a great way to start.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
