I'm trying to understand exactly how you think, so talk about a time when you solved a problem, not how you solve problems.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website and the SDN interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The new building, the gross anatomy lab, and the patient simulators.

What impressed you negatively?

To be honest, the entire having A. T. Still's log cabin and the orininal Osteopathic school inside the building seemed a little odd and strange. Unbanked roads where the speed limit is 60, but goes down to 20 for a town of 20 people while driving in from Quincy (but hey, I'm from California...)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Thousand Hill State Park. I would have visited it sooner.

What are your general comments?

The community was initially a shock, but talking to the current students, including one from my undergrad, it sounds like it's great because of the lack of distractions. The new building promises to be good. The two main interviews (2 hour long interviews with adcom members, 1 15 minute interview with an admissions coordinator to make sure the application is up to date) where very pleasent.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
