How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, going over the questions with my boyfriend

What impressed you positively?

Everything! the professors,the staff, OMM lab, anatomy lab, the fitness center...the list goes on...

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all. Loved it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Using SDN, and since it was my 2nd interview, there wasn't too much that I wasn't prepared for. I did discover that interviews can be fun...(sometimes!)

What are your general comments?

My interview was scheduled at 11 so I showed up around 10am. There is a breakfast (fruit and juice) at 8:15 but it's optional. I got called back for my interview 30 min early but it ended up lasting an hour. After that I got a chance to sit in an OMM lecture, then went on a tour at 12. They really did just want to learn more about me and if I would be a good fit for the school. I love this school right now and would be more than happy to attend.
