How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my submissions, reviewed their brochures/curriculum. I also practiced interview questions with my dad.

What impressed you positively?

The school's dedication to student well-being and success. The staff all seemed friendly and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

Location! Kirksville is not what I'm used to.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The heavy emphasis placed on OMM vs. other specialties. Also, I wish I had known how friendly they were - it would have decreased my anxiety.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was impressed. What the school lacks in cultural exposure, it gains in dedication to its students. Besides, 3 and 4th year rotations are done elsewhere (michigan, arizona, utah, colorado, pennsylvania, florida). I stayed with a student, he seemed quite happy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
